Federal Work Study
Federal Work Study is a campus-based aid program awarded to students who demonstrate the greatest need, as defined by the federal government. To receive funds, students must acquire a job on-campus. The Federal Work Study funds listed on the student’s financial aid package can be earned over the course of the year and are not deducted from either semester’s bill. Manhattanville College is not able to guarantee employment for every student. Students must apply for positions through the College’s online job board, Handshake.
To be paid, students must have on file a Student Employment Agreement, Hiring Addendum, a verified I-9 Employment form, and a W-4/IT-2104 form. Students cannot begin working until all forms are completed. Students will be paid for wages earned from the Payroll Office on a bi-weekly basis.
Student employees gain resume-building work experience, grow their interpersonal skills, and develop an excellent work ethic as they provide important services throughout the College community. All positions are part-time and students are eligible to work up to twenty (20) hours per week in the fall and spring semester. Summer work study is available and students may work up to twenty-nine (29) hours.
