Student Employment
Working on or around campus can make the logistics of balancing a job and school a little easier. At Creighton University, students have the chance to work on campus through student employment opportunities. Those who qualify can also take part in the Federal Work-Study program.
Part-time student workers play an important role in helping departments on campus carry out their daily work. In fact, more than 2,500 Creighton students help meet their educational expenses by working both through Federal Work Study and university-funded employment.
Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study program provides part-time jobs for undergraduate, graduate and professional students with financial need. These jobs are often on-campus, though some off-campus positions may also be available.
Eligibility
In order to participate in the Federal Work-Study program, students must demonstrate financial need. You’ll need to complete the FAFSA to determine your eligibility. You’ll be notified if you’re eligible for the program as part of your financial aid offer. The offer will include details about how much you can earn through the program. Both full-time and part-time students may be eligible.
Finding Student Employment
Creighton’s Student Employment Office supports students as they navigate the process of finding on-campus employment.
The Student Employment Office connects students to employment opportunities on campus primarily through Handshake. Handshake is Creighton's online career management system that offers many benefits, including a search function for On-Campus Student Employment, a mobile-friendly interface and a personalized experience for students and employers to connect for opportunities. On-campus jobs are also filled by word-of-mouth, so students can contact a department they’re interested in working with directly.
