Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study provides eligible students with demonstrated financial need the opportunity to earn wages through part-time employment while enrolled at UC Santa Cruz. Work-study positions may be available both on campus and with approved community service organizations.

Employment opportunities may be posted through the Career Success website and other campus hiring channels; however, not all positions are centrally advertised. Students are encouraged to explore opportunities through campus departments, colleges, dining services, faculty, staff, and other university networks. The Career Success office offers resources and assistance with résumé development, interview preparation, and job-search strategies. Federal Work-Study eligibility does not guarantee employment, and positions are competitive.
