Campus Employment Program
Many students have an academic year work component as part of their financial aid package, referred to as Federal Work-Study or Campus Employment. We offer two types of programs for students to work during their tenure at Manhattanville University: Federal Work-Study and campus Employment. Students are not placed into a job; rather, they must apply for a job based on their interests, skills and schedule.
If you have any questions about Federal Work-Study or Campus Employment, please contact the Center for Career Development at careers@mville.edu or call 914-323-5484.
FEDERAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAM
The Federal Work Study Program (FWSP) is a campus-based aid program awarded to students who demonstrate the greatest need, as defined by the federal government. To receive funds, students must acquire a job on-campus. The Federal Work Study funds listed on the student’s financial aid package can be earned over the course of the year and are not deducted from either semester’s bill. Manhattanville University is not able to guarantee employment for every student. Students must apply for positions through the University’s online job board, Handshake.
To be paid, students must have on file a Student Employment Agreement, Hiring Addendum, a verified I-9 Employment form, and a W-4/IT-2104 form. Students cannot begin working until all forms are completed. Students will be paid for wages earned from the Payroll Office on a bi-weekly basis.
Student employees gain resume-building work experience, grow their interpersonal skills, and develop an excellent work ethic as they provide important services throughout the University community. All positions are part-time and students are eligible to work up to twenty (20) hours per week in the fall and spring semester. Summer work study is available and students may work up to twenty-nine (29) hours.
CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
Students who do not have Federal Work-Study may apply for a campus job under the Campus Employment Program at the beginning of each semester. Limited non-Federal Work-Study positions are available during the fall, spring, and summer semesters. To be eligible, a student must be a current Manhattanville student.
Once hired, students in both programs are paid hourly according to the pay scales of the Manhattanville University Student Employment Job Classification System. Work schedules for campus positions are arranged by the student and the supervisor, normally ranging from 6-12 hours per week.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All hired student employees may not begin working until all required paperwork is received by the Center for Career Development. All potential student employees are advised to have acceptable documents readily available to establish identity and employment eligibility. Some common documents are the U.S. Passport, Social Security Card or U.S. Birth Certificate.
