Student Employment

Student Employment

A variety of student positions are available on campus through the Federal Work-Study Program and other opportunities including assisting with data entry and office duties, customer service duties, and tutoring other students.

These jobs not only give qualifying students a way to earn money, they also provide valuable work experience.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

The FWS program allows a student with demonstrated financial need as determined by the FAFSA to work on-or off-campus at designated sites to help meet their education expenses. A student can earn up to their FWS award during the academic year. Expected earnings are NOT used toward the student’s institutional charges such as tuition, fees, and books. Earnings are direct deposited into the student’s personal checking account monthly. Available positions are posted online by the Human Resources Office. A FWS award must be made by the Aiken Technical College Financial Aid Office before a student can seek employment as an FWS worker.

What Our Work-Study Students Have to Say

Work-study helps students build professional skills like communication, responsibility, and team work while also earning money to support their educational journey. It’s also a great way to become more connected to the campus community and build relationships with faculty, staff, and other students.

I believe every student can benefit from participating in a work-study program. In addition to earning income, it provides valuable networking opportunities and access to resources that can open doors for the future.

Aside from making bacteria samples, I also enjoy helping other students gain a better understanding of the course material during their lab classes. This also gives me the opportunity to reinforce my knowledge of certain organisms and why they behave the way they do.
