Student Employment
We offer a number of employment opportunities both on-and-off campus for Roger Williams students. Students are encouraged to work in an area that will complement their chosen majors.
These are jobs around the campus that are open to eligible students at any point in their academic career. Eligibility for Federal Work-Study (FWS) is determined from the information students provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students can work in a particular job for one semester or for all four years.
The FIT program, unique to RWU, is a three-year opportunity for rising sophomores at RWU. You’ll have the chance to build your resume with meaningful, hands-on experience right on campus – and be paid to do it! You’ll work with a faculty or staff mentor in a role related to your academic work, watching your role expand with your knowledge base and experience level. This is a real job with realistic work expectations.
Through the Feinstein Center for Engaged Learning, students may earn their work-study awards in the community at non-profit agencies. This is a great way to make a positive impact on the local community.
If you are interested in securing a work-study position in a community-service setting, please contact the Feinstein Center at service@917877.com, call 401-254-5670, or fill out an application.
Students who are not offered Federal Work-Study as part of their financial aid package, or is a non-financially aided student, may be employed as a Student Worker. These are on-campus employment opportunities. Hourly employment wages are paid entirely by a department on-campus through its regular budget.
