Apply for an Academic Year Work-Study Position

Step 1 - Apply for Academic Year Work-Study with Financial Aid

  • You must apply for work-study every Academic Year.
  • Per Financial Aid Terms and Conditions: Federal Work-Study is a need-based program for eligible full-time students. Award amount shown is an estimate of potential earnings and is contingent upon available jobs and actual hours worked. The offer of Federal Work-Study eligibility is not a guarantee of employment or earnings. Earnings are paid directly to the student (not to the student's University account) and cannot be deducted from billings. The Office of Human Resources is responsible for actual placement in available positions.
  • You will receive an e-mail to your DU e-mail account confirming that your work-study award has been processed.

Step 2 - Submit an Online Student Employment Application

  • Students who have been cleared for Work Study and submit an application by July 17th will be registered for a pre-scheduled interview.
