Student Employment
Office of Meaningful Work
Schreiner University offers a variety of opportunities for student employment. Students do not have to qualify for the Federal Work Study program in order to be employed on campus.
- Opportunities
- Positions are available in multiple departments across campus, such as Athletics, Campus Rec, Admissions, Peer Tutoring, Student Activities, Music department and many more. Some positions are with local non-profit organizations and require transportation. These positions may be working with animals at a local camp, after school care, or our nature center.
- Pay, Work Hours, and Availability
- Jobs pay $10 to $12 an hour depending on duties and are part-time. Each department tries to work with a student’s course schedule as well as their athletic obligations.
- Academic year hours can be as little as 5 or up to around 12 hours per week. No student is allowed to work more than 19 hours a week and are limited to 250 hours of total work time in the academic school year (Fall to Spring).
- Summer students may work as little as 10 hours or up to 30 hours in a week
- Application
- All students, regardless of financial aid package, will need to complete the application process if they wish to be considered for a position.
Am I Eligible for Work-Study?
To be eligible for work-study, you must first be awarded by the Office of Financial Aid. After that, you’ll need to apply for positions through the Meaningful Work Office. Keep in mind that being awarded work-study doesn’t guarantee a job—you’ll still need to interview and secure a position before you can start earning an hourly wage. Payments are made bi-weekly based on your approved timesheets.
If you’re an incoming freshman or a current student who hasn’t been awarded work-study but would like to work on campus, please contact the financial aid office to explore your options.
Available Positions
Please understand that it can take up to two weeks to hear from a supervisor depending on the time of year. Check your email regularly!
- Summer Work Study students need to email the supervisor for the position directly. Please include your full name, student ID, position you are applying for and your availability.
- Summer Student Employment is open to any student who was enrolled in the Spring 2026 semester and has registered for the Fall 2027 semester.
- Housing is not necessarily available just for being a student employee. Some departments do help cover housing.
