Student Employment/Federal Work-Study spans two campuses, 450 campus offices, and 30 Community-based organizations. Student employees earn anywhere from $15 to $20 per hour for positions located in Chicago and $11.00 to $16 for positions that are located outside of Chicago. Wages are based on the required skill level of the position.

There are orientations about the program throughout the fall semester, drop-in hours with Career Services, and Career Advisors ready to answer your questions and assist you. Student employees must apply for their positions in a competitive process that mirrors a post-graduate job search process, so meeting with a Career Services Advisor can help you be prepared and put your best foot forward.
