Part-Time Employment Opportunities

The Federal Work-Study Program is a federally subsidized program designed to assist students in meeting their college costs. Employment opportunities exist both on campus and with local community service agencies. The number of students able to participate in the program varies from year to year based on the annual allocation of campus-based aid received by the College. Preference must be given to those students who show the greatest need, as determined by the Office of Student Financial Services. Students must be enrolled at least half-time at Utica College and be in good academic standing to qualify. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required. For more information, see www.utica.edu/hr/studentemployment/payroll.cfm
