On-Campus Jobs

Students may be eligible for either Federal Work-Study jobs or casual student employment.

Federal Work-Study jobs are only available to U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents and eligibility is determined by the FAFSA. If you are unsure about your eligibility for work-study, contact the Financial Aid Office. Students can search for and apply to Federal Work-Study positions on the Student Financial Services (SFS) website.

Casual On-Campus jobs are open to any Columbia student, regardless of financial aid package or citizenship.
