Jobs range over the entire campus and some off-campus employers are eligible to hire under the FWS program as well.
Jobs vary from clerical to research, from service to security.

A FWS Certification Card should be picked up at the Student Financial Aid Office before starting job interviews. Work is available on campus and wages may vary depending on the job. UND departments are required to list all job openings which are paid from institutional and federal work study funds with the Student Financial Aid Office. These listings are posted on a bulletin board outside the Student Financial Aid Office.
