What is Work-Study?


Work-Study is a financial aid award. If you have submitted a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for the academic year and “Federal Work-Study” is listed on your award letter, you have the opportunity to apply for work-study employment on campus, and earn up to the amount of work-study awarded. The Work-Study award is not a guarantee of a job; you need to apply for jobs and complete any hiring processes that may be involved. A work schedule is developed with your employer to best fit your class schedule, possibly including nights and weekends. A paycheck is disbursed to the student (by direct deposit) every two weeks for the hours worked. Students receive bi-weekly electronic earnings statements via their UW-Stout email account.

What is State Payroll?


State Payroll is the other form of on-campus employment. Any enrolled, degree-seeking student can work in a state payroll position, even if awarded financial aid. The FASFA submittal is not required to pursue this type of position. A work schedule is developed with your employer to best fit your class schedule, possibly including nights and weekends. A paycheck is disbursed to the student (by direct deposit) every two weeks for the hours worked. Students receive bi-weekly electronic earnings statements via their UW-Stout email account.
