There are
two types of employment opportunities at The University of Tulsa, the
Federal Work-Study Program
and Institutional Work Study.
Federal Work Study
provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial
need. This allows students to earn money to help pay education
expenses. The program encourages community service work and work
related to your course of study. Federal Work-Study wages are at
least minimum wage, but may be higher depending on the type of work and
the skills required. Your total Federal Work-Study award depends
on your level of financial need.
If you are
an undergraduate, you'll be paid by the hour every two weeks. If
you are a graduate student, you may be paid by the hour or paid a
salary. You will receive a check, unless you request that the school direct
deposit your check into your bank account. You may use the money to pay
for your institutional charges such as tuition, fees, room and board.
Federal
Work-Study jobs can be on or off campus. If you work on campus, you'll
work for the school. If you work off campus, your employer will usually
be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work
performed must be in the public interest. The amount you earn can't
exceed your total Federal Work-Study award. When assigning work hours,
your supervisor will consider your class schedule and you academic
progress.

The
second type of employment is called
Institutional Work Study.
Institutional jobs are offered by offices around the university that
need additional employees. The money earned at the institutional job is
not funded by the Federal government like Work-Study employees. The
individual departments pay for the employee out of their budget.
