Student Employment

Eastern Oklahoma State College offers on-campus employment to students each semester. Employment opportunities are available in the form of Federal College Work-Study or Regular College Employment.

Benefits of On-Campus Employment

• Convenient location
• Flexible work hours
• Opportunity to work in departments/divisions tied to your career goals

STEP 1

Before completing the online employment application, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have a completed Financial Aid file with Eastern.

Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study (FWS) provides part-time employment for students who are enrolled at least half-time and demonstrate financial need. The maximum amount a recipient can earn under this federal program is determined by his/her financial need and availability of funds.

Students work around their class schedule and are limited to a certain number of hours each week. Students must also maintain satisfactory academic progress to be allowed to continue working on the Federal Work-Study program. Funding for the Federal Work-Study program is allocated by the government. Once all the funds for the institution have been awarded, no more students can participate that year.

After completing the FAFSA, you can check Self-Service for your Financial Aid status to see if an award has been granted.

Regular College Employment

Regular College Employment (RCE) is an institutionally funded financial aid program that provides part-time on-campus employment opportunities for students who are not otherwise eligible for Federal Work-Study.

Students work around their class schedule and are limited to a certain number of hours each week. Students must also maintain satisfactory academic progress to be allowed to continue working on the RCE program. These funds are limited. Wage expenses for these positions are funded through the hiring department’s operating budget.

STEP 2

Once you have completed the FAFSA and verified the type of work you are eligible to apply for, you can complete the online application below. Be sure to select which departments and/or on-campus positions you are interested in. Not all positions posted may be available at the time of application.
