The Clemson University Office of Student Financial Aid and the Michelin Career Center offer employment services to students. Immigration laws require all persons employed in the United States to verify eligibility to work. Students desiring employment in any capacity, either on or off campus, should be prepared to provide proper identification and documentation such as a valid U.S. passport or an official copy of a birth certificate and photo identification.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY (FWS). The Federal Work-Study program provides jobs for undergraduate students who have established financial need through the submission of the FAFSA. The FAFSA must be received by the federal processor by April 1 to receive priority consideration. Students who wish to continue as FWS employees must reapply annually.

Federal Work-Study assistance will be awarded first to those with the greatest amount of financial need if demand exceeds available funds. Students must be enrolled full time and maintain satisfactory academic progress to receive Federal Work-Study financial assistance.

FWS recipients must pursue employment and obtain his/her job. The Office of Student Financial Aid cannot guareantee positions for all students who are awarded. Positions are limited by departmental demands. FWS recipients are given access to the FWS website to view job opportunities. Each student will apply for jobs of interest and submit a job profile. Students continuing with the FWS program must receive a favorable evaluation from their supervisor each year.

 

Students are paid biweekly, and paychecks are distributed to the departments in which the students are assigned. Since Work-Study earnings are paid directly to students, the money cannot be credited to student accounts for satisfaction of University charges.

AMERICA READS PROGRAM. Students who qualify for Federal Work-Study may be eligible to participate in America Reads, a federal literacy program. FWS recipients who are interested in tutoring elementary age children in local schools and community centers must apply to Teacher Education on-line through the FWS website. More information is available at www.clemson.edu/americareads.

PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT. Information about on- and off-campus job openings is located at the Michelin Career Center in the Hendrix Student Center or at http://career.clemson.edu. The Job Location and Development Program, a federally funded service to assist students in obtaining part-time employment, maintains a listing of job opportunities. Students may also contact individual departments.
