Work-Study is a subsidized work program designed to assist financially needy students with the high costs associated with post-secondary study. The program will also provide students with an opportunity to gain valuable skills/experience in an on-campus, part-time employment situation.
Work-Study positions are 10 hours per week, $16.47 per hour.
Due to the limited number of available positions, program eligibility will not guarantee employment.
Eligible candidates are full-time UNB undergraduate and graduate students with demonstrated financial need who are legally able to work in Canada. Students must also be in good academic standing (GPA of 2.0 and over from the most recent assessment year) to be eligible for program consideration.
Eligible candidates are Canadian citizens, landed immigrants or international students (exchange students are not eligible).
Please note: according to the employment of graduate students guidelines, graduate students in either a thesis-based or course-based program studying full-time may engage in additional employment for up to 520 hours annually, which translates to an average of 10-hours per week across the year. There is no restriction on work hours for part-time students. Generally, graduate students in a course-based program taking three or more courses are considered full-time.
The Work-Study program is now being managed through the experiential learning portal at ExperienceUNB.
