Career Corner - Campus employment: Work $tudy

Need a few extra dollars this semester? Got a few extra hours during the week? Check out the Part-Time Work Study Program — if you qualify, you might just find yourself working on campus in a college department or with the Fanshawe Student Union.

The purpose of the on campus Part-Time Work Study Program is to assist students who are in financial need, who may be receiving financial aid through OSAP or have obtained another educational loan but still require additional assistance. Part-time work study jobs have been created on campus so students will 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. As soon as possible before September 27, you must complete the Work Study application (available online at yourmoneydance.com): Select Click here to apply, and under Bursary Name, enter “Part-Time Work Study”, and hit Search. Review the criteria for the Part- Time Work Study program and select Apply. From there, log on using your FanshaweOnline username and password. Provide the information as requested and submit your application. Staff in the Financial Aid office will review your application to determine your eligibility and provide a written response.

To qualify, students must meet the Canadian Citizenship criteria, 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.

Available Part-Time Work Study jobs are posted on the Career Services job posting site, accessible through FanshaweOnline (from the right hand toolbar, select the link to Career Services and Co-op Job Site).
