ON-CAMPUS STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Employment programs offer students the opportunity to work part time and earn a paycheck every two weeks. Pay scales vary according to job classifications and are listed with the job postings.

Federal Work Study Program (FWSP): Students who applied for financial aid consideration may have been awarded Federal Work Study as part of their financial aid award – please check your financial aid award letter or go to the LOIS website to confirm your eligibility. This program provides part time employment on campus or at nearby off-campus sites for eligible students. Students are given the opportunity to choose jobs which meet their interests, relate to their course of study, and fit in with available free time. Earnings through FWSP are taxable income.

Lesley Works Program (LWP): Students who have not applied for aid or who did not receive Federal Work Study are still eligible to obtain on-campus employment at Lesley. Job listings can be found on the Office of Financial Aid website listed above. Earnings through the LWP are taxable.
