Job Opportunity Potential

Become part of the UW-Superior community where we combine our mission and values through the liberal arts tradition, fostering an environment of trust and cooperation centering on the worth of all individuals.

The richness of programs lends to a very personalized educational environment integrating theory and practice, liberal and professional education, service to the community and region, teaching, scholarship, and creativity.

Many students benefit from working part-time while going to college. Employment helps students finance their education and provides opportunities for them to gain experience and to develop skills for future success in the career world.

Federal College Work-Study is a need-based financial aid offer that allows a student to work and earn money. Work study is a dollar allotment provided as part of your financial aid offer, and not automatically applied to your account like other financial aid. Dollars are earned by the student employee and are paid on a bi-weekly basis via direct deposit. Employment through the federal work study program is not a guarantee and should not be relied on as a manner for covering a student’s bill. Any UW-Superior student with a work-study offer may apply for work-study jobs.

Student Assist is on-campus employment that is not a part of a financial aid offer. Any UW-Superior student who is enrolled at least half-time may apply for student assist jobs.

Part Time Off-Campus Jobs are posted by area employers who are seeking college students to work in their organizations.
