Freshmen Student Jobs

Working while you study can be a great way to help reduce your tuition bill. As a large metropolitan university, USF offers a number of employment options for students, including:

Federal Work-Study Jobs
Federal Work-Study (FWS) provides part-time jobs for undergraduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. Only students who receive FWS awards as part of a financial aid package are eligible to apply for FWS jobs.
On-Campus Employment
Part-time student employment at USF is open to everyone who wants to apply.
Off-Campus Employment
Many employers post jobs through our Handshake portal and there are countless area businesses who are seeking good student workers.
