Types of Student Employment
Student employment opportunities are available through different programs, depending on eligibility and funding source.
-
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a student employment program that allows students to earn money by working part-time on campus or for certain off-campus nonprofit organizations. The U.S. Department of Education allocates funds annually to Trinity, and the university awards FWS to eligible students as part of their financial aid package.
-
Students who do not qualify for Federal Work-Study may be eligible for employment through Institutional Work-Study (IWS). IWS functions similarly to FWS, with wages paid directly by Trinity.
