    RWU Workstudy Information

    If you have been awarded work-study as part of your 2025-2026 financial aid package, open positions for the upcoming year are posted on our website here: Federal Aid Work-Study Jobs. Not all employers post their positions at the same time, so check the employment web page regularly for daily updates. Students may view available positions and contact the supervisor listed to arrange for an interview. A phone or Skype interview could supersede a traditional “in-person” job interview, or you may arrange a meeting once on campus.

    Bring your employment forms with you to the financial aid office, and we will check them for accuracy. Completing employment application forms early can help streamline your hiring process once you secure a position. Students must present original documents to RWU staff for employment eligibility. It is recommended that you also submit a legible photocopy to keep on file with Human Resources.
