Developing Student Employment Opportunities for Current Boilermakers

Student Employment Services within the Division of Financial Aid brings eligible student employees together with both on- and off-campus community employers. We accomplish this in a variety of ways, including posting all student employment positions via SSINFO, enabling employers to post positions via this website, and developing student employment opportunities via the Job Location and Development (JLD) program.

Our offices are located in the Division of Financial Aid, Schleman Hall of Student Services, Room 302. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday 8am-5pm. Our telephone number is 765-494-5056; our FAX number is 765-494-6707.  

Students may be eligible to participate in the Federal Work Study (FWS) program if they file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by a March 1 priority deadline, meet other federal aid conditions, AND demonstrate financial need. Otherwise, students may seek employment via numerous "regular" student employment opportunities. 

Keep in mind that student employment is an important, and sometimes significant form of "self-help" financial aid. Students are the primary beneficiaries of a college education, so they can make an investment in themselves. This is done in the form of savings from the past (student assets), present earnings (from part-time employment), and borrowing funds against their future earnings (through student loans). 

A student job should be more than the path to a paycheck.  Employment should be a learning experience to help students become more organized, accept greater job responsibilities, and help develop transferable job skills that can apply to future career positions.  Student Employment Services in the Division of Financial Aid can help students develop the tools needed to find meaningful part-time and summer job positions.
