Student Employment

Student Employment is a compilation of on-campus, federal work-study, community service and part-time job positions. Next to classroom attendance, the most universal experience of a college student is part-time employment.

On-Campus Employment Opportunities
Opportunities include clerical assistants, student sand computer services, research and laboratory support, tutoring and various other specialized positions. The benefits of student employment on campus are many. Students can develop interpersonal, communication and computer skills while establishing employment references. With campus jobs, students automatically become involved within the campus community. Their employment provides them with an easy way of connecting to at least one office or department.

Federal Work Study Program
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is part of a student’s financial aid package. This eligibility does not mean you will be guaranteed employment. FWS opportunities are real jobs. The term “work-study” does not mean that you can study on the job. The FWS program encourages the part-time employment of undergraduate students who need supplemental income to help fund their education. Our work study programs are designed to augment student’s educational goals with work experience. This is accomplished either through participation in community service work assignments or through on-campus job positions. Please note: A student’s federal work study earnings cannot exceed their FWS allocation.

FWS Community Service Program
The Millsaps Federal Work-Study Community Service Program provides an arrangement through which students complete work-study assignments as community service. The number of hours that a student may work depends on the amount of their Federal Work-Study Award. Students accepting an assignment through this program must have transportation. Students may choose to work at one of the following agencies:

Baptist Hospital
Bethlehem Center, Inc.
Methodist Rehabilitation Center - Main Campus
Methodist Specialty Care Center - East Campus
North Midtown Community Development Corporation
