Students are encouraged to participate in the employment program and to seek assistance from the SEO for information and guidance as to the availability and location of job opportunities. Earnings from Student Employment may be used to help pay any remaining tuition balance or other costs associated with life at Albion College. Students may not have to rely as heavily on other family resources when handling expenses such as books, supplies, travel, or personal items. These students feel that they are better able to budget their time to ensure it is balanced between study, work, and leisure. Developing an organized schedule makes every hour count.
Many students are better prepared for the job market after graduation.
Students are more involved in the college community, where they may develop stronger bonds with college employees and other students. Student Employment provides an alternative to loan indebtedness. Considering the long-term obligations of a loan, students may decide to decrease the amount of their loan award by increasing their work award. Students may save money in the long run because they will have less money to pay back in loans. The Student Employment Office, a division of the Financial Aid Office, is committed to assisting the campus community and its students in the employment process.
