The Employment Process

Once you have been awarded Federal Work Study funds as part of your financial aid package, you can apply for an open position on or off campus by taking the following steps:

1. Fill out a UNH Manchester Federal Work Study Job Application and return it to the Financial Aid Office located in the Student Services Suite of University Center, room 270A. Download an application or stop by the office to get one.

2. Check the job listings for open positions and keep in contact with the Federal Work Study Coordinator and request to have your application submitted to the employer of your choice.

3. Once you have been offered a position, you must fill out the required "work study packet" before you may begin working. The packet must be completed by the supervisor and student. The required forms follow below and are included in the Financial Aid Forms page along with other related FWS employment forms.

   • I-9 (.pdf)
   • FWS Employment Authorization (.pdf)
   • Paycheck Distribution Form (.pdf)

4. All forms must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office in Room 270A with a copy of your license and social security card before employment authorization can take place. If you do not have one of these documents, please refer to the I-9 form for a list of accepted identifications.
