St. Edward's University provides a variety of opportunities
for on-campus employment through two programs: the
College Work-Study Program (FWS) and the University
Work-Study Program, also known as Non College Work-Study.
Working before, between, and after scheduled classes
is a benefit of working on campus. The close proximity
between work and class is an added bonus. Students
are hired for, on average, 10 to 15 hours per week
and are paid biweekly. Depending on the student award
and departmental needs, employment can be found for
as little as 4 hours per week.
The College Work-Study Program provides
students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience
through part-time employment. Participants must have
demonstrated financial need and an award through
the Office of Student Financial Services. Examples
of jobs include tutors, office assistants, recreational
assistants, facilities assistants, and event staff.
The University Work-Study Program (Non College
Work-Study) enables
students to work on campus even though they do not
have a work-study award through the Office of Student
Financial Services. Funding for these positions is
provided by individual campus departments. A large
variety of these positions are available on the campus.
Students are encouraged to do a job search (click
on the link mentioned below) or contact individual
departments about job availability under the Non
College Work-Study program.

Through the Student Employment Partnership Program,
students who receive a Work-Study award as part of
their financial assistance package have the opportunity
to use that funding to "share the cost" of
employment in an off-campus, career-related position.
This program allows students to choose their work
sites and gain the valuable work experience they
desire. Students may also use this work experience
as an internship and receive academic credit.
If a student can obtain a part-time position at a local
non-profit agency and get a commitment from the agency
for 25% of his/her wages, St. Edward's University will
contribute the remaining 75% of the cost. The student
must be approved for College Work-Study through the
Office of Student Financial Services to participate
in this program. For opportunities available, please
visit Hilltop Careers, an online database for job,
internship and career information at www.stedwards.edu/cpel.
For other online databases, please visit www.stedwards.edu/cpel/online_job_banks.html.
Serving the community is a major plus of the program.
The opportunity to work with a variety of people of
different ages and backgrounds gives students a sound
work experience. As with all student employment programs
students may work a maximum of 20 hours per week. Due
to limited funding, students are encouraged to contact
the Career Planning Office early each academic year
to
determine their eligibility.
