Our Mission
The mission of student employment is to provide the means for students to help defray college expenses, expand the educational experience, and help prepare for “life after college.” Professional experiences can enhance the academic learning process and give students the opportunity to serve and learn in a values-based, mission-oriented setting.
St. John’s University provides current undergraduate students with a range of part-time employment opportunities throughout many of the University’s departments and schools. Each year, the University employs about 1,500 student workers on all campuses. Working at St. John’s while attending school allows students to gain valuable skills and job experience, and can help to offset the cost of tuition and living expenses.
How to Apply:
Follow these 3 easy steps to apply for a Student Worker Position
STEP 1: There are two distinct types of student positions: Regular Student Worker and federal College Work-Study. Before you apply for any position, you must find out if you qualify for Work Study (PDF).
STEP 2: Review the open positions below by campus and select up to 3 positions that interest you. If you qualify for financial aid under federal College Work-Study, you can select from the available Work-Study jobs; if not, select from the available Regular Student jobs. (Note: International and graduate students are not eligible for federal Work-Study.)
STEP 3: Now you are ready to complete the Student Employment Application. You will be prompted to sign in to the University system before you can access the Formstack application. You will need to include up to 3 job ID's from Step 2 to identify the positions for which you wish to apply.
Please note: If applying for College Work Study positions (S01969), you will need to check your eligibility by looking at your award aid by year under the Financial Aid tile in the New UIS Experience. If awarded, you will see the award and amount listed. If unsure, you can contact Student Financial Services to see if College Work Study was posted to your Financial Aid package. If it was not, you are not eligible to apply for the College Work Study positions.
That's it! You will hear from the hiring manager if there is an interest in your candidacy. The Student Employment team is here to help you, so contact us if you need assistance.
