WORK-ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
There are several programs offered that enable students to work part-time in
various departments on campus.
A limited number of Graduate Assistantships are available for students
enrolled in graduate programs. For more information, contact the appropriate
director of graduate studies in business, education, or psychology.
The Federal Work Study Program is a federal program designed to expand
part-time employment opportunities for students, particularly those from low-income
families who are in need of the earnings in order to pursue a course of study.
The awards made are not grants but maximum amounts a student can earn while
working for Francis Marion University. Under this program, students may work
a maximum of generally 20 hours per week while attending classes and 40 hours
per week when classes are not in session. Checks are issued semi-monthly.
Non-Work Study Student positions are available to a limited number of
students. These students are employed on a part-time basis by the various administrative
offices, and academic departments/schools. Positions normally go to students
with particular talents or skills that may be useful to the University schools
or departments. The intent is to develop further the students' skills, creativity,
sense of awareness, and responsibility.
Students interested in on-campus work-assistance programs should contact the
Office of Financial Assistance. Information concerning part-time
off-campus employment is available from the Office of Career Development.
