The purpose of the Student Employment Program
at West Chester University is to stimulate and promote the part-time employment
of students who are enrolled as degree-seeking undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students who are in need of earnings from employment to pursue
their course of study AND to encourage students receiving Federal student
assistance to participate in community service activities that will benefit the
Nation and engender in the students a sense of social responsibility and
commitment to the community.
To apply for the Federal Student Employment program students MUST indicate their
interest in work-study by their response to the question #31 on the 2009-2010 FAFSA. The FAFSA is used to determine the student's eligibility, financial "need" to participate in the program. The student must also submit a WCU Student Employment
Application available in paper or on-line. The employment application is used to determine the where the student will be assigned to work. The completion of these
forms
does not guarantee employment. West Chester University’s Student
Employment Program is a "campus based" need based federally funded program.
Eligible applicants will see the "value" of the student employment award as part of their financial aid package. The award WILL NOT appear on the student's account as anticipated aid.
The Currently enrolled students
are encouraged to secure the signature of a representative of the department in
which they seek assignment. Eligibility for currently or previously enrolled students can
not be confirmed until academic progress has been determined, after spring grades have been processed.
Employment packets containing job assignments and departmental information will be mailed home during the summer. Employment offers made after August 1st will be sent to students via their WCU email account.
Please return your Contract by the deadline to secure your student employment position for the academic year.
Federal Work Study Student Employees should report to work immediately at the beginning of the FALL semester. Only ACTIVE students should be permitted to begin work. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to confirm the student's employment status BEFORE permitting the student to begin work.
The priority deadline for ALL applications is always March 1st.

school must provide FWS jobs that compliment and reinforce the recipient’s
educational program and or career goals." Use of computers,
software of various types, phone skills, working with others, collecting
information, preparing reports, verifying inventories, etc, are all work
skills that complement and reinforce almost any educational program and
career goals. FWS also encourages employment opportunities that
"provide an environment for growth and stimulation." Some FWS
students through a combination of education and familiarity with the
work, and in the case of a FWS student who works with the same
department for a number of years, which may enable the FWS student to
increase the complexity of the tasks they can perform.
