Federal Work-Study / Texas College Work-Study Programs
DBU participates in the federal and state College Work-Study programs. These programs are designed to provide part-time employment for students with financial need who wish to help pay a part of their educational expenses by working on campus or community service.

Federal/Texas Work-Study is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid, often in combination with other forms of financial aid, to help meet educational expenses. Students desiring to work are required to seek jobs on campus by contacting offices which employ work-study students and interviewing with the work-study supervisor in that office.

The Office of Financial Aid will assist students in seeking employment, but it is the responsibility of the student to find a job. Students may request work-study consideration when submitting the DBU financial aid application and the FAFSA.

Students who participate in this program work an average of 5-20 hours per week. General wage policies are established by the University within the guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Education.

Work-study students are not eligible for fringe benefits such as holiday, vacation, or sick pay. Each office that employs work-study students provides job descriptions. Students are required to attend a work-study meeting the first week of classes in the fall semester.

Other Student Employment
DBU provides employment services to students through the Career Services Office located on the second floor of the Learning Center. Students are encouraged to make use of these services for assistance in locating part-time employment on or off campus.
