Student Employment
At Parkside, you are an integral part of our campus community including our work community. Student employment is a flexible and convenient way to gain hands-on, real life experience that enhances your personal and intellectual development. Working on campus is also a great opportunity to get to know the university, meet staff, and help fellow students.

Types of Jobs
Federal College Work-Study
Work-study is a need-based award included in your financial aid offer. Unlike grants or loans, it is not applied directly to your bill – you earn these funds through a part-time job and are paid biweekly via direct deposit.
Work-study positions are competitive and not guaranteed, so they should not be relied on to cover your full bill. Students who receive a work-study offer may apply for available positions.
