Student Employment (Work-Study)
Students all over campus are lowering their school bills and getting practical work experience through NJIT's work-study programs—working in academic departments and administrative offices and giving back in community-service programs.
NJIT currently has two separate programs: Federal College Work-Study (FCWS) and Institutional Work-Study (IWS).
FCWS eligibility is determined as part of your financial aid package; IWS jobs are available for those who don't qualify for FCWS. FCWS earnings aren't counted as income on your FAFSA, so you'll be eligible for more aid in the subsequent year.
