Employment
On-campus employment opportunities are available and may be included in a financial aid award package to assist students in meeting their educational or living expenses.  Federal Work Study (FWS) is a program funded by the federal government and SCI-Arc to provide part-time employment for students who demonstrate financial need.  Students employed through this program are assisted in finding jobs on campus through the Financial Aid Office.  Most students work between 20 hours per week while classes are in session and earn no less than $12 per hour.  Employment may begin only after the completed work study packet has been approved by the financial aid office.  All state and federal equal opportunity employment practices are upheld.
