STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
Benedictine College actively participates in the federal self-help program referred to as "Federal Work-Study" (FWS). As part of the financial aid package, Work-Study allows a student to contribute to his or her education by enhancing skills already acquired and by providing the chance to learn new skills while employed on campus or in a community service role.

AWARDING PROCEDURES & ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL WORK STUDY

1. The Financial Aid Office awards Work-Study to students who have need determined according to the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students must show a financial need over and above the resources they have available to meet educational expenses.
2. A student must be enrolled and attending at least part-time for a regular semester or session. If a student should withdraw from all classes, he/she is no longer eligible for student employment.
3. A student must be a citizen of the United States or its possessions or a permanent resident alien.
4. A student must show evidence of academic promise and of the ability to maintain satisfactory standing in his/her course of study while employed.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR FWS

1. Complete the FAFSA and indicate an interest in student employment.
2. You may contact the Student Employment Coordinator via email or by calling 913.360.7484.

COLLEGE WORK PROGRAM
Benedictine College has another student employment program for students who are not eligible for Federal Work-Study. Under the College Work Program students are hired in much the same way that they would gain off-campus employment--that is, with regard to departmental budgets and needs.  If you are not eligible for a federal work-study position, your application will be designated for college work program. Due to budgetary constraints work program funding is limited.

AWARDING PROCEDURES & ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGE WORK PROGRAM

1. The College Work Program is an institutionally funded program. One hundred percent of the money incorporated in this fund is from the institution. Students wishing to participate in this program do not have to prove financial need.
2. A student must be enrolled and attending at least part time for a regular semester or session. If a student should withdraw from all classes, he/she is no longer eligible for student employment.
3. A student must show evidence of academic promise and of the ability to maintain satisfactory standing in his/her course of study while employed. Students on academic probation or suspension will not be permitted to participate in the College Work Program.
