On-Campus Student Employment
Federal Work-Study Program
Federal Work-Study (FWS) may be awarded as part of an undergraduate student’s financial aid package. It is a financial award which allows a student with demonstrated financial need to earn a portion of the educational expenses by working in an on-campus position or an approved off-campus position in a public or private not-for-profit organization. Van transportation may be available for some of the off-campus positions. If a student chooses not to earn the FWS money, the award remains unclaimed. The award may not be transferred to the next academic year or to another student.
Campus Employment Program
Students who do not have Federal Work-Study may apply for a campus job under the Campus Employment Program.
The Center for Career Development administers both the Federal Work-Study Program and the Campus Employment Program. Students seeking employment may consult the Center for Career Development for potential work sites. Currently campus jobs are posted on http://myinterfase.com/mville/student. Students may also inquire at individual campus offices and departments for available positions. All students are encouraged to actively investigate job opportunities. No student is guaranteed on-campus employment under the Campus Employment Program or the Federal Work-Study Program.
Once hired, students in both programs are paid hourly according to the pay scales of the Manhattanville College Student Employment Job Classification System. Work schedules for campus positions are arranged by the student and the supervisor, normally ranging from 6-12 hours per week.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All hired student employees may not begin working until all required paperwork is received by the Center for Career Development. All potential student employees are advised to have acceptable documents readily available to establish identity and employment eligibility. Some common documents are the U.S. Passport, Social Security Card or U.S. Birth Certificate.
