How Do I Become a Work Study Student?

  • You must have completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid for current year
  • Request a Work Study award by checking "yes" on your Federal Aid Application
  • Your financial aid application must be in complete status before you will be awarded
How Do I Find Out What Jobs Are Available?
  • First, make sure you have a work study award before you begin your search. If you do not receive an award you may consider acquiring a Student Employment position. Please call the Student Employment Office, (505)277-3511, if you have questions about the difference between Work Study and Student Employment positions.
  • Both Work Study/Student Employment Positions are posted on UNMJobs.unm.edu. If you do not have access to a computer there are many resources on main campus such as the Lobo Lab in the SUB and CIRT pods, and two computers in our office.
