Student Employment

Northwestern Health Sciences University participates in the Federal Work Study (FWS) Program, which provides campus-based jobs to financially eligible students. Students may work up to an average of 20 hours per week.

Northwestern also participates in the community service program, which pays FWS-eligible students for jobs involved in community service activities. Opportunities include community events, literacy or reading programs, library, and clinic positions.

The university posts positions for students outside the Financial Aid Office. Jobs may be offered in departments and areas including student affairs, library, admissions, continuing education, and cafeteria. Students are urged to contact the supervisor listed on the job posting. If hired, the student must confirm work study eligibility with the Financial Aid Office and file employment paperwork with the Human Resources Department.

The Human Resources Department determines wages. All FWS funds are subject to IRS tax rules and regulations.
