Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP). Federal work-study
employment may be offered as a portion of the financial aid award.
Application for this program is made by filing the FAFSA. On-campus
jobs are available in many departments. Selection for a particular job
is based on the applicant's skills, job availability, university needs,
and student preference. In assigning students jobs the program assumes
a student will work between six and twenty hours a week during the fall
and spring terms. For summer assignments, students may work as many as
thirty-five hours a week.
Off-campus employment is available
through the Federal Work-Study Program. These jobs are paid
community-service positions in nonprofit agencies.
No job
assignments will be made until financial aid requirements are met. Any
change in work-study jobs must be made through the Student
Employment/Office of Financial Aid.
Preceptorships and Residence Counselorships. Appointments
as preceptors or counselors in the various undergraduate residence
halls are available to a limited number of graduate students. Upon
request, the offices of the deans of students will provide information
about the duties required of preceptors and counselors. In addition,
they will outline the benefits offered-such as room, board, and tuition
grants-and discuss application procedures. Normally, applications for
September appointments must be received before May 1.
Other University Employment. Any
graduate student enrolled at the university may inquire with individual
academic or administrative offices for available non-FWSP openings. All
hiring decisions for non-FWSP jobs are made by the department.
Job Location and Development Program (JLD). The
JLD Program is open to all students enrolled in the university. Most
employment opportunities are located outside the university in local
businesses. Information about jobs is available online at http://studentwork.rutgers.edu.
