Student Employment
For Traditional Undergraduates
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program is a partnership between the federal government and 皇家华人 Fox University, designed to help you pay for educational expenses while also gaining valuable work experience.
FWS is a need-based program awarded to eligible students as part of the financial aid package. The FWS award is called "Federal Student Employment" on your financial aid offer letter. However, receiving the award does not guarantee the funds or a job.
How does it work?
At 皇家华人 Fox, we believe in making the FWS process mirror the post-college job search as much as possible. This allows students to learn job-seeking skills needed in the marketplace.
It is the responsibility of you, the student, to secure an on-campus job and earn wages from working.
Hours Available
- While most jobs are limited to a maximum of 10 hours per week during the academic year, some jobs allow up to 15 hours per week.
- Work-hours differ for each job. See details when applying.
Pay
Campus jobs are limited, therefore FWS funds and jobs are NOT guaranteed. You must find a job and work in order to earn up to the award amount on the Financial Aid Offer Letter.
- Students earn the Oregon Yamhill County minimum wage.
- Students are paid on the 15th of each month for hours worked the previous month.
- Students receive their paycheck via campus mail.
- Students may choose to set up automatic direct deposit through the Human Resources office.
- Wages earned are NOT automatically applied to your student account.
- A portion, or all of your wages, may be applied toward your student account by completing a payroll deduction form. (Please contact your Student Account Specialist for more information.)
More than 40 departments hire our students.
