There are currently 26 work study jobs with openings currently posted. Jobs are located under the Student Work-Study Jobs page in the Financial Aid section of the RWU website.

Assistant Director of Financial Aid Michelle Cordeiro said “not all employers post their positions at the same time, so students are encouraged to check the employment web page regularly for daily updates.”

For those who are first time work study students, Cordeiro said, “Once you have accepted a position, you will need to complete all the necessary forms with your hiring supervisor. All work-study participants will need to provide a valid Driver’s license or Campus ID, along with one of the following original documents: Social Security Card, Birth Certificate or U.S. Passport to your supervisor when completing Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification.”
