Why should i work on-campus?
At Eckerd College, student employment is more than just a job—it’s a meaningful learning experience that supports academic and career growth. Student workers play a vital role across campus departments, contributing to teaching, research, and operations while gaining valuable skills like communication, time management, and teamwork. On-campus jobs offer financial support, flexible scheduling, and the chance to build a professional work history without needing transportation.
Employment Types & Eligibility
Employment Types & Eligibility
Federal Work Study (FWS)
Federal Work Study (FWS)
The Federal Work-Study Program is a "need-based" financial aid program designed to assist students in earning money to meet their college expenses. To be eligible, a student must have filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have a work-study allocation of funds. Each eligible student is awarded an amount of funds per semester that determines the maximum number of hours per week that may be worked.
While every effort is made to provide the maximum number of FWS positions, an on-campus or community service position within the FWS program is not guaranteed.
For more information regarding Federal Work Study, please contact the Financial Aid Office at finaid@eckerd.edu or 727-864-8334.

You must complete an I-9 (verifies identity and employment authorization) and payroll forms in the Career Center, prior to your first day of work (the red means you should not skip this step).
In order to complete the I9, once you have your first offer, you'll receive instructions on how to schedule a student employment onboarding appointment with the Student Employment Coordinator. Make sure to bring original and unexpired documents to your meeting. See a list of acceptable documents. This process only needs to be completed once while you are a student.
