Note on Federal Work Study: We encourage employers to consider hiring students with Federal Work Study. Work Study is a need-based financial aid award that allows students to earn money through an on-campus job. A student who is awarded Federal Work Study will have a portion of their wage come from their Federal Work Study award instead of your departmental budget. Campus departments and non-profit organizations are eligible employers. Employers who want to hire work study students for the first time should contact Erin Wooldridge at workstud@uark.edu. 

Don’t miss out! Click here to register. The deadline to reserve your booth is Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
