Student Job Portal

Through Tech Express, a student can access the Student Job Portal, where they will apply for open positions of interest, accept an offer and manage time sheets for their FWS position.  

If you are selected to receive Work-Study, you will need to officially accept your award offer in Eagle Online, before applying for employment opportunities in the Student Job Portal to begin receiving the funding.

After accepting your Work Study offer in Eagle Online, you can apply to any of the many job opportunities available on the Student Job Portal. Students will go through a traditional application process to secure employment in order to earn the wages from their Federal Work-Study funds.
