Student Employment programs

  • Student Employment is designed to provide students with financial assistance.
  • Students may work up to 15 hours per week. 
  • Student wages will be at least the minimum wage for the location in which they work.
  • Students may only work during non-scheduled class time. (ie. Biology Lab is on schedule Mon. - Fri. 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. Student is not allowed to work from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Mon - Fri)
  • All Student Employment is considered part-time, and therefore students are not eligible for any benefits.

Two different funding sources for Student Employment:

Federal Work-Study:

  • The funds for this program are provided directly to Park University by the Department of Education.
  • Student eligibility for this program is determined by the FAFSA [Free Application for Federal Student Aid].
  • Students need to complete the FAFSA as early as possible. (The FAFSA will be available in October of the previous year).
  • Students are awarded Federal Work-Study dollars based on the SAI[Student Aid Index] and the date the FAFSA was completed.

Park Student Worker Program: 

  • The funds for this program are provided by Park University.
  • Students will need to review the policy and procedure for the Park Student Worker Program.
