On-campus & work-study jobs

On-campus jobs are a convenient way to earn money while attending school. There are many departments and offices who hire students both during the school year and over the summer.

As an enrolled student, you may apply for jobs and arrange interviews with prospective faculty & staff employers. The Career Services office is available to assist you in finding on-campus employment, but we do not directly place students. Each student is responsible for securing his or her own job, including work-study positions.

Most students do not work more than ten hours per week during the school year in an on-campus position.

Finding a job

Here are several suggestions for ways you can find an on-campus job:

1. Review the list of typically available student positions, located on the Career Services web site. Contact departments you are interested in working for and ask if they have positions available.


2. Create an account and search for openings on the online GC job & internship bank, where departments list their openings (www.goshen.edu/jobs).


3. Attend the annual Part-time Job Fair, which is held at the beginning of each school year. On- and off-campus employers talk with students about their openings. Check the web calendar or the online Communicator for details.


4. Talk with Anita Yoder or Megan Bonham in the Career Services Office in the Administration Building, or call them at ext. 7547.

What is work-study?

Work-study is a federal program that creates jobs for students with financial need, so they can earn money to help pay for educational expenses. The money a student earns from a work-study job does not count toward annual earnings when determining financial need the following year. Work-study may be included in your Financial Aid package. Contact the Financial Aid office to find out if you are eligible for work-study.

Students who are eligible for work-study are responsible for securing their own job and are encouraged to begin looking for jobs even before the school year begins. Nearly every on-campus job can qualify as a work-study job. Many departments give preference to work-study students. Be sure to mention your work-study eligibility when applying for positions on campus.
