Since its founding in 1852, Westminster College has offered students of all economic backgrounds a superior liberal arts education. There are many financial resources available to students and families who seek assistance. Financial aid is money to be used in meeting expenses related to the completion of an educational program.  The financial aid offer is based on your individual financial need and eligibility, and may include various types of aid. This offer may include any combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and/or student employment. Eligible students meeting required deadlines are offered the maximum amount of aid available after considering external sources such as the Federal Pell Grant, State Grants and non-Westminster college scholarships.

Student Employment empowers students to build career-ready skills through meaningful experiential learning opportunities that foster individual development while supporting essential College functions. College positions focus on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) competencies to provide a complementary educational experience to students' education inside the classroom.

 

Multiple offices and areas work in collaboration with each other to administer the Student Employment program. Representatives from Financial Aid, Professional Development and Community Engagement (PDCE), Human Resources, Business Office, and Student Affairs oversee all aspects of the process for students and departments. These offices facilitate connections between students and hiring departments, including the development and posting of positions, application and interview process, hiring and rehire processes, and ongoing support.

 

Available Positions

Open positions are posted on Handshake each year by June 30. Beginning July 1, students are able to review all open positions on Handshake and apply for them individually through Handshake or submit a general application that is shared with supervisors. All positions indicate the overall responsibilities, as well as general hours and days of the week work is available.

 

Over 80 different jobs are offered with close to 250 positions each year. Almost 50 different offices and departments employ students on campus.

 

Applying for a Position

Students may apply individually on Handshake for any open position. In addition, students may fill out a general application with basic information that helps supervisors identify if you might be a positive fit for their positions. This information is shared with all supervisors. Click the links below to begin your application process.
