Student Employment and Work-Study jobs are applied for through Hire-A-Lion
Student employment is any on-campus student job that does not require work-study eligibility. The majority of on-campus student employment jobs available are not work-study jobs.
Work-study is a federally funded program that is designed to help provide jobs for students who have financial need. Students apply for work-study eligibility by completing a FAFSA. Not all students are eligible for work-study. Eligibility is determined based on your financial need. To find out if you are work-study eligible contact the Financial Aid Office or the Student Employment Coordinator.
All students working on-campus must meet the following requirements:
Student employees working on-campus are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week and are paid a minimum $11.08 per hour. These jobs do not receive any employee benefits.
