UVU Federal Work Study:
Federal Work Study (FWS) is a financial aid program available for qualified students.
The FWS program is designed to help students to pay for college while getting on-the-job
training and experience, preferably related to their field of study. Like other student
jobs, FWS wages are earned through employment at an hourly rate, with competitive
pay based on job duties and the employee's job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We recommend that students interested in FWS employment contact the Financial Aid
and Scholarships office to determine eligibility and learn more about the program
before applying for FWS jobs.
Utah Valley University (UVU) is a student-centered teaching institution dedicated to building communities of engaged learners by developing its students and employees to be people of integrity who are good stewards of their community and professionally competent in their chosen profession.
