There are a couple types of student employment available through the University. Below is a brief description of each. Note, students must apply for each position for which they are interested. Please review our job postings for our current vacancies.Federal College Work-StudyFederal College Work-Study is a federally funded form of financial aid that is awarded to eligible full-time undergraduates as part of a need-based financial aid package. Graduate students may complete the Budget Worksheet on MyNaropa, and submit a statement of appeal if they wish to be awarded work-study eligibility.Students with a work-study award can apply for work-study employment positions on-campus or through one of our approved off-campus sites through the Community Work-Study Program. Students are paid twice per month. Earnings are not applied to a student’s tuition bill and are subject to taxation. Being awarded work-study eligibility is not a guarantee of employment.Naropa Student EmploymentNaropa Student Employment (NSEP) is a university-funded form of financial aid awarded to international undergraduate and graduate students as part of a need-based financial aid package. International students with an NSEP award can apply for work-study employment positions on-campus. Students are paid twice per month. Earnings are not applied to a student’s tuition bill and are subject to taxation. Being awarded NSEP eligibility is not a guarantee of employment.Graduate AssistantshipsGraduate Assistantships are a form of employment with the university. Graduate Assistantships are available to graduate students only. Graduate students selected for a GA position will receive a scholarship that is applied directly to their tuition bill, as well as a stipend, which is paid directly to the student. Annual GA award amounts are based on the number of required hours of work each week.Resident Assistant PositionThe Resident Assistant position is a live-in position within University Housing. The position is open to both graduate and undergraduate students. Students selected for the RA position are paid twice per month, are paid hourly, and receive free housing in the form of a scholarship. Receiving more than one institutional form of aid (including the RA position) could affect your eligibility for, or the amounts of, other forms of aid, including scholarship awards. If you are awarded an RA position and you have already requested the maximum in the Grad/Parent PLUS Loan, we will need to reduce the Grad/Parent PLUS Load to make room for the RA position payment/housing scholarship.
