What Is "Student Employee of the Year"?
Each spring, as part of National Student Employment Week, Oklahoma State University chooses a Student Employee of the Year. This student is selected as someone who best embodies the contributions and achievements of students who work while attending college.
The contest is sponsored by the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid and OSU Career Services in conjunction with the National Student Employment Association's (NSEA) National Student Employee of the Year contest. The OSU Student Employee of the Year will compete at the regional level and if successful will eventually compete nationally. The winner of the national contest will receive a $500 dollar cash award presented by a NSEA representative at the students home campus.
