On-Campus Employment
Did you know you can gain real-world experience right here on campus? Through the Federal Work Study program, awarded through the Financial Aid Office based on financial need, you can secure an on-campus job to help pay for your educational expenses (including tuition) and give you valuable work experience. Financial need is based on information you or your family supplies on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Priority is given to those who file their FASFA by December 1st; when all money has been awarded, no more funds are available for the year.
You do not need a work-study award to work on campus. Check Handshake daily for new opportunities.
