This program awards up to 20 work hours per week for undergraduate and graduate students. Need Based Employment jobs can be on or off campus. If you work on campus, you'll usually work for your school. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, and the work performed must be in the public interest.

Pay checks are disbursed biweekly to the Department in which the student is employed. Funds are limited and awards are made based on the priority consideration deadline. Community Service positions are also available in the America Reads and America Counts Programs. All Need Based Employment recipients must check in with the Student Employment Office for initial placement or before returning to a previously assigned Department.
