Types of off-campus employment
Three types of off-campus employment are available to you as a student, depending on your eligibility as determined by your FAFSA — 华盛顿州工作学习, Federal 工作研究 社区 Service, and regular part-time employment.
- 华盛顿州工作学习. State 工作研究 is need-based (determined by your FAFSA) employment funded by the state of Washington. Students who are awarded State 工作研究 must be Washington state residents, 至少有一半时间注册, and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students with a declared major in the 神学院 are ineligible.
- Federal 工作研究 社区 Service. This is federally funded need-based (determined by your FAFSA) employment. Students who are awarded Federal 工作研究 must be 至少有一半时间注册 and maintain satisfactory academic progress. Current positions support historically underrepresented youth and people experiencing homelessness. A limited number of positions are available.
- 定期兼职工作. There are hundreds of off-campus non-work study positions surrounding SPU, and SPU students have an excellent reputation in the greater 西雅图 area (and beyond!). It’s a reputation that goes before you into the interview process.

Summer employment opportunities
On campus positions and some State 工作研究 positions are available in the summer. Both options are a great opportunity for students to earn funds in preparation for the upcoming academic year.
The amount you are eligible to earn for summer State 工作研究 will vary each year depending on available funding, your summer enrollment (if any), and your demonstrated financial need as determined by the upcoming academic year's FAFSA.
If you have any financial aid requirements for the upcoming academic year, they will need to be completed before summer eligibility can be determined.
