Campus Employment

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

Federally funded part-time employment. Pay dates are twice monthly. Student employees are paid the federal minimum hourly rate.  Students must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and have financial aid "need".  Contact the Financial Aid Office at (928) 428-8287.

Institutional Work-Study Program

College funded part-time employment awarded at specific request of faculty or staff. Pay procedures are similar to those under  FWS above.  Students must complete the FAFSA, but it is not required to have financial aid "need".  Contact the Financial Aid Office at (928) 428-8287.

If you've been awarded Work-Study:

• Locate a job - See the Work-Study Handbook, or the Student Employment link on the Financial Aid web page on the Internet.
• If you are a first-time Eastern employee, pick up an employee "Set-Up Packet" at the Fiscal Control Window in the Student Services Building.  Fill out and return packet to the Fiscal Control Window.
• Bring two forms of identification (See I-9 Form for list of acceptable identification).
• Work your agreed schedule and keep a careful record of the dates and hours.
• Turn in your time sheets to your supervisor before noon on the 15th and 30th of the month.
• Complete the timesheet with your correct social security number and sign it.
• Check the Activities Calendar for Pay Day dates. Typically it is the 7th and 22nd of the month. Take your ID and pick up your check at the Fiscal Control Window, which is located in the Student Services Building.

Note! If you are applying your Work-Study earnings toward a college debt, you must come to the Fiscal Control Window and endorse your check so the funds can be transferred to reduce your outstanding bill.  Questions?  Contact Eastern's Financial Aid Office at (928) 428-8287.
