Kansas Career Work-Study Program

What is the Kansas Career Work-Study Program?

The Kansas Career Work-Study Program is a state-funded program intended to provide employers incentive to hire FHSU students in career-related positions. Because of the nature of this program, most of the Kansas Career Work-Study jobs are located off campus (in Hays or surrounding communities). While it is not a “need-based” program, there are limits as to what you may earn. If you are a financial aid recipient, the amount of aid that you are receiving is subtracted from the cost of attendance to determine your earnings limit. However, contract earnings limits are established by the institution. If you do not receive financial assistance, the cost of attendance at FHSU is your earnings limit. FHSU reimburses the employer for a portion of your wages.

What are the eligibility requirements for the Kansas Career Work-Study Program?

To participate in the Kansas Career Work-Study Program you must be a resident of the state of Kansas, be enrolled in six or more credit hours, and be in good academic standing at FHSU.

How do I apply for a Kansas Career Work-Study job?

Students interested in the Kansas Career Work-Study Program will need to contact the Student Employment Office (SEO) for a listing of the currently available job openings. Since positions can be posted at any time throughout the year, students are encouraged to check frequently with the SEO for new listings. After reviewing the list, it is your responsibility to contact the employers who have vacancies and go through their application/interview process.

I found a job! Is there anything else I need to do?

Once the agreement and paperwork between the Kansas Career Work-Study employer and the Student Employment Office is completed, you may begin working at your new job. The hiring Kansas Career Work-Study employer is your primary employer and will process your payroll paperwork and issue your paychecks. Congratulations and good luck!
