What are the types of Student Employment programs at Dickinson College?

The Student Employment Office coordinates two student employment programs: August 16, 2007 utionally funded on-campus employment

  • Federally funded (Federal Work Study) on-campus and off-campus employment
  • Institutionally funded on-campus employment provides part-time job opportunities for currently enrolled students, regardless of their financial need. The hiring department pays 100% of the student wage.

    Federal Work Study provides job opportunities for students demonstrating financial need to help pay for educational expenses. A student's eligibility for federal work study is reviewed each year and is determined by their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). If they are eligible for federal work study, their work study award will be included in their financial aid package. For Federal Work-Study employees, the hiring department pays 25% of the student wage, while 75% is subsidized by the government. Most student jobs on campus are federally funded.

    For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office at 245-1308.
