Work-Study
Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program that encourages students to work on campus or with approved off-campus employers to earn money for their educational expenses.
Work-study is earned through wages. Students must apply and be hired for a job on campus or if eligible, with off-campus partners. To determine if you are eligible for work-study, check your financial aid award on Compass or contact the Financial Aid Office.
Finding on-campus and work-study jobs
At Seattle University, Student Employment is a high-impact, experiential learning program that is an integral part of the student experience. Jobs are intentionally designed to provide you with skills and competencies that translate to a variety of career paths and help you apply classroom learning. Read more about Seattle University’s Student Employment program.
Students do not need to have work-study to work on campus. On-campus employers hire year-round, and once you’re registered for classes in Fall, you can start applying.
All on-campus jobs are found on Handshake – use the filter for ‘On Campus’ or search for the employer called Seattle University On-Campus Employment. Students who are eligible for work-study can apply to any on-campus job.
Current students can learn more about finding jobs, job search support, student employment policies, and onboarding to an on-campus job on Student Employment’s Redhawk Hub site.
