The Student Employment
Office coordinates two student employment programs: Institutionally
funded on-campus employment provides part-time job opportunities
for currently enrolled students, regardless of your financial need.
The hiring department pays 100% of your student wage. Please note
that since institutionally funded positions are limited in number,
they can be more difficult to obtain. Federal Work
Study provides job opportunities for students demonstrating
financial need to help pay for educational expenses. Your eligibility
for federal work study is reviewed each year and is determined by
your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). If you are
eligible for federal work study, your work study award will be included
in your financial aid package. For Federal Work-Study employees,
the hiring department pays 25% of your student wage, while 75% is
subsidized by the government. Most student jobs on campus are federally
funded. The federal work study
program encourages colleges to designate a certain number of their
work study jobs to community service. The definition ofApril 24, 2007 to Department of Education guidelines
is as follows: "…services that are designed to improve
the quality of life for community residents, particularly low
income individuals, or to solve particular problems related to
their needs." To be eligible for the federal work study/community
service program, you must, first of all, be eligible for federal
work-study. Community service positions are available through
campus-based programs such as America Reads, or through contractual
agreements with local community service programs. Dickinson College
has partnered with a number of local community service groups
to offer students opportunities for off-campus employment. Examples
