Welcome to the Office of Student Employment
The Office of Student Employment (OSE) supports the on-campus employment and off-campus community service needs of enrolled Seton Hall University students. Student employment is an opportunity for students to learn valuable life skills while earning money to assist in paying additional educational expenses. Students gain interpersonal, project management, and critical thinking skills that they take with them into professional settings post graduation.
The OSE maintains online listings of Student Employment positions for Seton Hall University, including Federal Work Study (FWS), University Funded, and Community Service opportunities. All Student Employment positions are part-time to best support the student’s academic success. Supervisors are within the SHU community and understand the nature of the Student Employment program, and that employees are students first. Open positions can be found online at Jobs.SHU.edu.
Types of Student Employment
Federal Work Study (FWS)
Federal Work Study is a federal grant that eligible students receive for working in an eligible position. In order to qualify, students must file a FAFSA to determine financial need. This can change throughout the year dependent on aid eligibility. Some positions may only hire students with FWS eligibility.
University Funded (UF)
University Funded positions are paid by the hiring department’s budget and not through a federal grant. Students do not have to demonstrate financial need for UF employment. All matriculated, enrolled students are eligible for UF employment.
Grant Funded
University Funded positions are paid directly from a grant that was obtained and awarded to a professor, department, or program. The department is responsible for working with the Grants Manager in the Grants Office to ensure the grant is allowed to be used for student hourly payment.
Community Service
Community Service jobs are designed to engage students in improving the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income individuals, or to address issues such as: literacy training, social services, housing, neighborhood improvement, public safety, recreation, “at-risk” youth, and community improvement. SHU’s Community Service based positions often involve local organizations, non-profits, and school programs.
