Federal Work Study vs. Department Funded Student Jobs
For a student to obtain a federal work study job, the student needs to have federal work study funds included in their financial aid package after completing the FAFSA. If you're not sure if you qualify, you can check in MaineStreet or contact Student Financial Services. Any USM student is eligible to obtain a department funded student job, regardless of whether they received federal work study or not.
How to Find Available Positions
Openings can be found on our digital job board, USM Job & Internship Board.
