About The Position

This position plays a key role in administering UAF’s campus-based financial aid programs, with a primary focus on the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program. As part of the Financial Aid Office, this position works closely with students, supervisors, HR partners, and community employers to ensure federal and institutional funds are awarded and managed accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with federal regulations. To thrive in this role an applicant should be highly detail-oriented, comfortable tracking complex data across multiple systems, and able to adapt quickly to constantly changing federal regulations and institutional procedures. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with campus departments, community partners, and students are essential.
