To the maximum extent practical, institutions shall provide employment that complements and reinforces the educational program or vocational goal of students receiving work study funds. Student Employment funds are obtained from the federal government, the State of Minnesota and Macalester College. Students may receive these funds after applying for financial aid through Macalester College Financial Aid Office and establishing eligibility based on financial need. The college provides employment for students awarded student employment during the academic year.
Students work in virtually all departments of the college.
The following parts of Section III will explain the placement process, wages and other administrative aspects of the program. Sections VI and VII explain the responsibilities of both the student employees and their supervisors. Through the off-campus work program, students with financial aid awards that include work awards are able to earn their award through a community service work experience. Because funding is limited, students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. For further information and application materials stop by the Community Service Office, Lampert Building, 2nd Flr.
