Brooklyn College work study opportunities?

Hi all, I was accepted into Brooklyn College and I'm interested in finding work-study opportunities there. Does anyone have experience with work study at Brooklyn College? What kind of jobs did you get and how was the application process?

Hi there! Congrats on your acceptance to Brooklyn College. I'm happy to provide some information on the work-study opportunities there. Federal Work-Study is a program that allows eligible students to work part-time jobs on or off-campus to help with their educational expenses. To be considered for work-study at Brooklyn College, you will need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and indicate that you're interested in work-study on the application.

Once you have been awarded work-study and are enrolled at Brooklyn College, you can search for available positions through the BC Navigator, which is Brooklyn College's online job search system. There, you will find postings for various on-campus positions such as library attendants, research assistants, administrative support, or jobs in areas like tutoring centers or computer labs. Off-campus positions, typically community service or nonprofit-related, may also be available.

The application process for work-study jobs usually involves submitting a resume and cover letter tailored to the specific position you're applying for. After that, you may be invited for an interview with the hiring supervisor. It's a good idea to reach out to the Financial Aid Office on campus if you need guidance regarding work-study opportunities or have any questions about the process.

In general, people have reported positive experiences with work-study at Brooklyn College. The jobs, while typically not extremely high-paying, can provide valuable experience and personal connections on campus, which can be beneficial during and after your college career.

I hope this information helps, and good luck with your work-study search at Brooklyn College!
