Work-study is a form of Federal Financial Aid. You must apply through the FAFSA and be awarded work-study.
Some college offices hire students other than those on work-study. Most on-campus jobs will work around class schedules, allowing students the flexibility needed to be successful and earn some money while attending.
Our Job Fair is held each April and attracts 30-50 employers from Central New York. These employers participate because they are hiring and seeking our graduates. Check the calendar and announcements for specific dates and employers.
