The student employment program provides opportunities for part-time work through both federal and institutional funding. Job listings are available for on- and off-campus positions.
Federal Work-Study is based on financial need as determined by completing the FAFSA form.
Federal Work-Study Guidelines:
Federal work-study positions include the following opportunities:
Institutional Work-Study is available on limited basis. On-campus positions only, working in various departments and offices.
This is how it works:
Students often chose work-study jobs to minimize the amount of money they borrow while in school. During the duration of a student’s education (12 or 14 quarters), earnings could range from $18,000 to $21,000 by working 6-7 hours a week. Taking into consideration the interest accrual on federal student loans while in school, earning a $1,500 a quarter would lower your future monthly loan payments.
Will a job work around my schedule?
Yes, most departments are flexible and sensitive to student needs and expect the same thing in return from their employees.
Where do I get information on jobs?
Job listings are posted on the jobs bulletin boards in Sid Square, in Student Life and online. A variety of positions are available with hourly wages ranging from $15 to $20. To apply for a position, stop by Student Life.
Where do students work?
The federal and institutional work-study programs offer jobs on and off-campus. A variety of positions are available in administrative/ support services, labs, and clinic. In addition, the federal work-study program offers positions in tutoring elementary school students.
How and when are students paid?
Students are paid twice a month on the 15th and last day of the month. Checks are available for pick-up at the Payroll Office.
Are you willing to make sacrifices now for the future?
We know classes are tough and times are tight; however, for 10 hours a week you can greatly reduce your student loan debt and monthly payments in the future.
A work-study job is a great way for you to hold down the cost of your education by making a little money while attending school. The advantages of a work-study job are convenience, flexibility and, potentially, an opportunity to learn a valuable skill while getting paid.
