Job postings are updated daily, Monday through Friday, and can reach thousands of potential student employees. Job postings are assigned a specific job posting number and can easily be edited or removed by calling our office at 765-494-5056.
As a prospective employer of Purdue University students, you are requested to sign and return an Equal Opportunity Employer Assurance Statement every two years. This statement is required to assure our compliance with state and federal equal opportunity legislation and University policy. It will be kept on file at Student Employment--Division of Financial Aid at Purdue University. If we do not receive a signed Equal Opportunity Assurance Statement from you, we will not be able to list your job opening(s) on the Purdue job board information system.

Federal Work-Study Advantages to Employers
The Federal Work-Study program allows Purdue departments and nonprofit employers to hire FWS-eligible students and pay only 30 percent of their wages. The other 70 percent of a student’s wage is provided through federal funding. Nonprofit employers who hire FWS students as reading tutors for elementary students and/or math tutors for elementary or middle school students may be eligible for 100% reimbursement of FWS student wages. Purdue University will monitor and maintain the individual student earnings and provide the primary payroll functions for FWS students.
Federal Work-Study Employers/Payroll Clerk Information
The Student Employee Procedures Handbook details the procedures a Federal Work-Study (FWS) employer must go through regarding hiring FWS-eligible students.
For each Federal Work-Study (FWS) student hired, a Federal Work Study Student Job Description Form must be turned in with the student's Payroll Authorization Form (PAF) before the PAF may be processed. In order to expedite the processing of this PAF, please be sure to turn in the Job Description Form with the PAF; see Federal Work Study Student Job Description Form here.
