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 (FWS): 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 check Self-Service to confirm your eligibility (for information on using Self-Service see: Self-Service at Lesley University : Information Technology + eLearning). 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 FWS 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.

https://lesley.edu/students/international-students/work-authorization
Off-Campus work authorization for F-1 students is complex to obtain, and is not always available. F-1 students must have authorization before starting any type of off-campus employment, including paid and unpaid internships, fieldwork, practicums, and co-ops. Please contact us, visit our website, or come to a monthly employment workshop to learn how you can work in the US. Applying for work authorization can take months—we recommend you learn about your options early so you can plan in advance!
