Student Employment Programs

Federal Work-Study (FWS)

Federal Work-Study is designed to stimulate and promote the part-time employment of students at the College who are in need of earnings to assist them in meeting their educational expenses. The FWS program is available to undergraduate students who show a demonstrated need* documented through analysis of the information on their FAFSAs*.

Students who wish to participate in the FWS program should review the list of available job opportunities on the College's website. The student should then contact the applicable supervisor for an interview. If the student is selected for employment and was not awarded FWS, the supervisor is required to contact the FAO to confirm whether or not the student is eligible for FWS. If the student is eligible for FWS, that form of assistance will be added to the student's financial aid award. Employed students are paid twice per month through the Business Office based upon hours worked.

America Reads/America Counts Work-Study

Students who enjoy working with elementary and toddler-aged children may be eligible to participate in the America Reads/America Counts tutoring program. Tutors work with children who need additional help in reading or math. Students must be awarded Federal Work-Study funds to qualify for this program.

Institutional Work-Study

Institutional Work-Study is a part-time employment program funded by the College. The Institutional Work-Study Program follows the guidelines set forth above for the Federal Work-Study Program, except that institutional work-study is not need- based. Funding is limited.

Summer Work-Study

The College has a summer work program. Students can apply by contacting the Coordinator of Student Housing at 1-800-437-6060.
