Federal College Work-Study Jobs

These jobs are reserved for students who, after submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), are determined to have financial aid eligibility. You are notified in your award letter that you have eligibility and are allowed to apply for these jobs. You can work in a variety of jobs between 10-15 hours per week earning $7.25 per hour. There is some competition for these positions due to the number of students who are eligible for these federally funded jobs.

Restricted On-Campus Jobs

These jobs are reserved for students who, after submitting the FAFSA and utilizing all the financial aid that is available to them, still owe money on their student account and do not have a car to be able to work off-campus. A majority of the newly created jobs fall into this category because of VFCC’s commitment to supporting the students who find themselves in this position.

Non-Restricted On-Campus Jobs

These jobs are available to students whose financial aid file is complete or who have filed a FAFSA Waiver stating that they are not filing a FAFSA. Typically these are jobs that require a specific skill or need to be filled at the very start of the semester. While the bulk of the on-campus jobs are in the “restricted” category, there are still a number of "non-restricted" jobs available.

Off-Campus Jobs
