Texas College Work-Study
The Texas College Work-Study program is a need based work study program funded by the State of Texas.

Recipients of Texas Work Study cannot be athletes.
College Work Study Employment Procedures
Once the student has accepted the College Work Study Award in MyUHV, students should review the job opportunities with a Financial Aid Specialist. It is the student's responsibility to contact the hiring department listed, interview with the department contact, and gain employment. In addition, employing departments may also contact College Work Study applicants for an interview.
Should a student locate a job on campus, the student is required to complete the necessary paperwork in Human Resources. Students are paid biweekly. Once a student has reached his/her award limit, employment may be terminated.
