Student Employment FAQ
Students are awarded two different types of work-study:
- Federal Work-Study – On-campus jobs and for off-campus jobs that require FWS eligibility
- Stonehill Work – On-campus jobs only
If you are eligible for work-study it would appear in the Financial Aid section of myHill. You must accept your work-study award to use it.
Students must have a work-study award to apply for a student job on campus. Students not awarded work-study may request an award in Student Financial Assistance after the fourth week of school.
There is no job placement or guarantee of a job but rather the award is the limit to the amount you may earn during the academic year. Students are responsible for securing their own employment.
No, work-study awards do not appear on the student account. The only way to receive these funds is by working and getting paid for this work. Students can manage these funds the way they see fit.
Students search for their own jobs by going to the Student Employment database at https://jobs.stonehill.edu. The job search and hiring process generally takes several weeks.
