Federal Work Study

Federal Work-Study is a program that promotes access to employment for students who demonstrate financial need. Available funds are provided by a federal allocation and a University matching contribution. For more information about Federal Work-Study please visit Boston University Student Employment Office (SEO). Work-study students are responsible for finding and securing their own jobs through their department, School, elsewhere at BU, or at an eligible non-profit agency. Students who have been awarded Work-Study can search for “Work-Study Preferred Jobs” on the JobX Job Board. Please note that funding is extremely limited for Federal Work Study at the graduate level.
