Employment of Piedmont University Students

The mission of the Student Employment Program at Piedmont University is to provide students a meaningful work experience aimed at enhancing college and career goals, while providing financial support.

Piedmont University offers employment to eligible students each year, regardless of need, within the limits of available funding. Student workers earn the National Minimum Wage on a bi-weekly basis. Piedmont University’s Work Study Program is part of an effort to reduce the financial burden on families while teaching productive work habits as part of a well-rounded, liberal arts education.

Jobs on campus are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Students desiring employment must have a Social Security Number and be prepared to provide proper identification, verifying their identities and ability to work within the United States, before work begins.
