Student Employment
Student employment can be a fundamental part of a student’s educational experience, promoting engagement and providing professional development opportunities in an effort to retain, graduate, and prepare students for the workplace. UTRGV’s Student Employment Office hires over 2500 students to work on-campus every year.
Being employed at the university not only provides students with extra money. They also have the opportunity to:
- Acquire hands-on experience that will create beneficial workplace habits,
- Develop stronger connections with faculty and staff,
- Build and improve organizational and time management skills, and
- Enhance career readiness for successful professional employment after graduation.
There are a few types of student employment options that undergraduate students are eligible for at The University of Rio Grande Valley. These options are Work-Study (awarded through Financial Aid) and Direct Wage (not based on financial aid award).
For graduate student employment opportunities or student assistantships, contact the Graduate College at (956) 665-3661 or gradcollege@utrgv.edu.
