STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Earn money through student employment.

Staff and student in Admissions Office.

Student employment provides Saint Paul College students with the opportunity to work in paying on-campus positions to help fund their education. These jobs also give students the chance to enhance work-related skills in a professional environment. Student employment is not meant to be the sole source of financial support for a student, nor is it considered part-time employment. It is a form of financial assistance.

Steps to Apply for Student Employment

  • Students interested in a Work-Study position must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and receive an award letter before applying for work-study positions. (Not necessary for Student Worker positions.)
  • See Student Employment Opportunities. Application instructions are listed at the bottom of each posting.

Types of Student Employment

Work-Study
Students with need based eligibility may apply for a Saint Paul College Work-Study position. The Financial Aid Office determines if a student is eligible based on information from the SAR (Student Aid Report). The SAR is generated once the student has completed and submitted the FAFSA. Students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards to qualify. The funds for this program are paid by the federal government, state government, and Saint Paul College.

Student Worker
Student Workers do not have to meet the Saint Paul College Work-Study need-based eligibility standards. However, all student employees must meet Saint Paul College Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. The funds for this program come from Saint Paul College and, therefore, only students with very specialized skills are hired as Student Workers. Offices or departments may hire students, as their needs require and funds allow, with the approval of their respective Dean or Manager.
