Career Corner: Applying yourself through Work Study
Need a few extra dollars this semester?
Got a few extra hours during the week?
Why not check out the Work Study Program and if you qualify you might just find yourself working on campus in a college department or with the Fanshawe Student Union.
The purpose of Work Study is to assist students who are in financial need and already receiving financial aid through OSAP but still require additional assistance. Work study jobs have been created on campus to ensure that students have the resources to meet expenses associated with their education. The added bonus is that these positions also give you valuable experience to add to your resume.
Here's how you get started.
You must complete a Work Study application (it can be printed off the website: www.fanshawec.ca/financial/workstudy.asp). The application should then be dropped off to the Financial Aid office (E2020). They will review all applications and make decisions on eligibility within five working days. After being approved by the Financial Aid Office, you will then be advised to visit Career Services, located in room F2010 and present the approval letter in order to see the detailed job descriptions.
To qualify, students must be taking at least a 60 per cent course load during the September to April period, have a demonstrated financial need and must be making satisfactory academic progress. While candidates should have been assessed for OSAP and been eligible for assistance, some exceptions to students not being eligible for OSAP will be considered.
There are many Work Study positions currently available and all of them are posted on the Career Services Job Posting site www.fanshawec.ca/careerservices. Select FOR JOB SEEKERS — VIEW JOBS, log on with your Fanshawe student ID number. Select “On-campus” and read through the various jobs listed. As mentioned above, once you have your letter from Financial Aid approving you for Work Study, visit the Career Services office for more specific information on how to apply for the positions you are interested in.
