Federal Work-Study and Institutional Work-Study

Federal Work Study
On-campus employment opportunities are available and may be included in a financial aid award package (MUST submit FAFSA on time) 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 up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session and earn no less than CA minimum wage $17.87 per hour.  Employment may begin only after the completed work study packet has been approved by the financial aid office and HR. All state and federal equal opportunity employment practices are upheld.
 
Institutional Work Study
International students are not eligible for federal work study but may be eligible for institutional work study with a valid social security number. If you do not have a social security number, you will be required to apply for one. You must provide a receipt from the Social Security Office to the Human Resources Department before you will be allowed to work (NO EXCEPTIONS).
 
 

Work Study Positions

The Financial Aid Office and the Human Resources Office coordinate the work-study program.  A listing of on-campus part-time job openings is posted on the Financial Aid Work-Study page at http://my.sciarc.edu  

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Any delays on your part (i.e., missing or unsigned documents, missed appointments or documents submitted after the deadline, etc.) will affect your eligibility to be considered and potential start date. The earlier you turn in your application, the greater chance you have to be accepted into the Work-Study Program. Everyone must apply, whether a new student or a continuing student, you must follow this process.

All students should check financial aid eligibility in order to see if you are qualified to for in the current semester, after checking financial aid eligibility students should speak with the manager of the department in which they are interested in working before you pick up a work-study packet.  Work-study packets are available from the Financial Aid Office (via Pandadoc) and MUST be returned to the Human Resource department upon completion.  Employment may begin only after the completed work-study packet has been approved by the Human Resource. All state and federal Equal Opportunity Employment regulations are enforced. All employees must provide a valid social security number and be prepared to establish eligibility to work in the United States within three business days of being hired.
 
 
Teaching Assistantships (through work-study program)
Paid teaching assistantships are available to currently enrolled graduate students (3rd year or above) who have demonstrated a level of excellence in their studies and are in good academic standing.  Time commitment varies from five to seven hours per week for seminars and up to fifteen hours per week for studios (hours vary, speak with faculty supervisor). Interested students should contact the Financial Aid and Career Services Offices for all open positions, after the add/drop period is over. All TA's must be approved by the Chief Academic Officer.  Employment packets are available from the Financial Aid Office and must be completed and returned prior to the start of work.
