HIEEs Pay

Earn while you learn! Weber State University (WSU) is committed to providing transformative experiences for undergraduate students and creating access to these experiences. The HIEEs Pay program removes barriers for students to participate in high impact educational experiences (HIEEs). These experiences help WSU students achieve their educational and professional goals and better prepare them for future opportunities.

Under the HIEEs Pay program, students earn $11.50 per hour and can earn up to $1,500.

Once approved, eligible HIEEs Pay students can log hours in GivePulse from the first day of the semester until the last day. Hours cannot be logged in between semesters.
