Work-Study Program
One way you can help pay for your education is through a work-study job. Working part-time while in school is a great way to pay for some of your expenses and keep your student loan debt to a minimum.
Work-study is more than an ordinary part-time job. Work-study is a type of financial aid awarded as a form of “self-help” aid, so you do not have to pay it back.
A work-study job allows for part- time student employment on-campus or off-campus with a pre-approved organization. Through work-study, you gain work experience and professional skills, network in your field of interest, and best of all earn a paycheck- helping you pay for your education, without ever having to leave campus.
UTRGV offers multiple Work-study Programs for Undergraduate and Graduate Students, including Federal, State, or Institutional programs.
To get a works-study job, you must have a completed FAFSA or TASFA. Work-study can be requested online by submitting an Additional Aid Request
