Join the Beacon Team!
Beacon College employs students throughout campus serving a wide variety of roles. Students are eligible for two types of on-campus employment: Federal Work-Study positions and part-time positions. The two types of student employment differ by the source of funding to pay the student and student eligibility criteria.
Reminder about I-9 verification for employment. All students will need to provide ORIGINAL I-9 Acceptable Documents for I-9 verification and completion.
Federal Work Study Positions
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is federally-funded financial aid awarded to students based on their eligibility determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with other financial aid criteria. Upon their hiring, eligible students are awarded a specific amount, and the federal government subsidizes the wages to the employer.
Part-Time Positions
Students without federal funding can find jobs across campus. All Beacon students are eligible to apply for these positions, regardless of financial need.
