Student Employment

Mission

Mars Hill University’s Office of Student Employment is committed to, and vigorously supports, the University mission and strategic plan of preparing students for the world of work by engaging students in the process of navigating job markets, learning financial literacy, applying for positions, and interview procedures through obtaining on campus employment.

Work Study

The Work Study Program at Mars Hill University exists to provide qualified students part- time job opportunities with the wages being used to help reduce student tuition fees.

Student employment with Mars Hill University gives students the opportunity to work in preparation for entering the job market while meeting critical needs of the University.

Work Study is awarded by the Mars Hill University Financial Aid Office. The award is given to qualified students based on the information provided by the student on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or FAFSA).

Work Study students will work with a faculty or staff supervisor as part of their office or department.

Mars Hill University awards two types of Work Study: Federal Work Study and Institutional Work Study

1. Federal Work Study

• Seniors and Bonner Scholars only will be awarded Federal Work Study.
• Student earnings will be direct deposited into the bank account on file.

2. Institutional Work Study

• Institutional Work Study will complete the same number of hours as those awarded Federal Work Study.
• Student earnings will be applied directly to their student account for a reduction on their tuition unless the student’s balance has been paid in full and then the earnings will be direct deposited into the bank account on file.
• This assistance can in no way generate a refund on the student account, unless the student’s balance has been paid in full.

Part-Time Student Jobs

In academic departments across campus there are Student Part Time jobs paid from the department’s student labor budget. Applying for these jobs follows the same process as Work Study jobs and requires the same employee paperwork to be filled out however no work study eligibility is required. The pay date for Part Time is the same as Work Study, with the funds being direct deposited into the bank account on file.
