The majority of Work-Study jobs are located on-campus. Every department on campus is approved to hire Work-Study students, so there are a wide range of jobs available. There are many clerical positions, but students may also find employment as a lab research assistant, computer lab proctor, library assistant, food server, museum guide, child care worker, or usher at public events, to name just a few possibilities.

There are a limited number of Work-Study jobs available off-campus, through the Community Service Work-Study program. These jobs are offered by local non-profit, governmental, and community-based organizations, such as the Austin Independent School District, People’s Community Clinic, KLRU-TV, Austin Children’s Museum, Literacy Austin, and the YMCA. A full listing of approved off-campus employers may be found on the Hirealonghorn.org site.

All Work-Study jobs pay at least minimum wage, but most pay more. The average hourly wage across campus is about $7.20.
