ISEP- International Student Employment Program

What is ISEP?

The International Student Employment Program (ISEP) is a unique UVU work program that provides international students funding that is earned through on-campus student employment and paid at an hourly rate.

Applications are issued through the International Center. The selection committee reviews and rates the applications, transcripts and essays. Students selected for the program will be notified and issued an ISEP Referral Form to be picked-up at the International Center. Next, awarded students will visit the Student Employment office to schedule an appointment for ISEP job search assistance. Access will then be granted to the UVU Work Study job search menu on the UV Job Board to apply for jobs. (Students who do not have the ISEP Referral Form are not eligible to view the UVU Work Study job postings.)

Requirements for Eligibility:

• Cumulative GPA 2.5 or higher.Maintain F-1 Status.Enrollment in regular non-ESL classes or in-status vacation.
