Student Employment (Federal Work-Study) is awarded to
many students who demonstrate financial need. As part of a financial aid
package, a student may be awarded a specific dollar amount in Student
Employment. This amount is the maximum that may be earned in the
academic year. The average student employment award is $1,500 per year,
which enables a student to work ten hours each week that classes are in
session. Unlike scholarships, grants, and loans, which are credited
directly to the student’s account, student employment is not. Upon
arriving on campus, a student with an award in Student Employment begins
looking for a job by consulting the job bulletin board (in the Campus
Center or in the Student Financial Services Office) and applying
directly to the on-campus employer. Hourly wage is based on position and
length of employment. Students are paid every two weeks by direct
deposit into the student’s checking account.
There are a limited number of jobs available on campus to students who
have not been awarded Student Employment as part of a financial aid
award. Preference in hiring, however, is given to students with Student
Employment awards. Interested students should check with Student
Financial Services staff for details. An award of student employment
indicates eligibility to apply for a campus job, but is not in itself a
guarantee of employment.
