If you did not refuse your FWS allotment on your award notification, but wish not to participate, please notify, in writing, the Office of Student Financial Assistance so that the funding can be given to someone who wishes to participate. If your award letter includes a Federal Work-Study offer, you will have an opportunity to seek employment. Student employment is not assigned. Departments will post job openings at the University of Tennessee at Martin Office of Student Employment. Students may begin reviewing the posted jobs after July 1.
Jobs are limited and highly competitive.
Your offer of work-study funding is no assurance of employment. It is your responsibility to check the posting and pick up your interview form for student employment and to successfully interview for the job of your choice. After you have successfully gained employment, you must bring documents to the Financial Aid Office to support your U.S. citizenship and your eligibility to work in the United States. The two most favored documents are your valid driver's license and your original Social Security Card. Work schedules are determined by the student and the FWS department supervisor.
