Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal College Work-Study Program stimulates and promotes part-time employment for currently registered students who are eligible for Financial Aid and are awarded Work-Study. This program gives the student the opportunity to earn a portion of their financial aid, and to explore career possibilities while gaining valuable and practical work experience.
Email us with questions about work-study at ucscel@ucsc.edu.
Not Affiliated With A Company?
If you are an individual looking to hire a student for caregiving, tutoring, domestic work, etc., it may be difficult for you to post your job on Handshake, as we require recruiters on Handshake to sign up with a business email and have a link to their organization’s website.
Instead, you can take advantage of these resources, which are unaffiliated with UCSC:
- Care.com
- Indeed.com
- Santacruzjobs.com
- Think Local First Santa Cruz
- Santa Cruz Works
- Post on Santa Cruz Nextdoor or Craigslist for short-term caregiving/yardwork/housework jobs
Other ways to get in touch with students:
- Post a flyer on campus. The campus bus/shuttle stops are open to posting from off-campus individuals and organizations. Flyers will stay up for about a week.
