Some of these benefits are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transferable work skills and experience which will be essential in the post-graduation employment search<\/li>\n<li>Several studies have shown that university students that work between 5 and 20 hours a week earn higher grades than their non-working peers as well as time management skills<\/li>\n<li>Many students develop good networking relationships with staff members who can provide excellent letters of recommendation or references for future jobs and education.<\/li>\n<li>Work Study earnings are not included in the calculations when financial aid eligibility is determined for the following year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Community Service<\/h2>\n<p>Community service work study offers an alternative to traditional on-campus employment by finding jobs in the community where students have the opportunity to earn wages while helping a nonprofit organization. Community service involves assignments that are designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly individuals. Some fields that qualify as community service include health care, elementary and secondary math and reading tutors, child care, literacy training, welfare, social services, public safety, crime prevention, recreation and community improvement. Having transportation is required to take advantage of one of these positions.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on community service or a referral to a community service site, contact the Coordinator of Student Employment at 314.529.6702 or via email to <a href=\"mailto:studentemployment@maryville.edu\">studentemployment@maryville.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"forms\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"large-3 medium-3 columns\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 10px;\">Additional Resources:<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 25px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryville.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/04\/Introduction-to-Federal-Work-Study-23-24.pdf\">Basics of Work Study<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryville.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/nace-career-readiness-competencies-revised-apr-2021.pdf\">Career Readiness Fact Sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/i-9-central\/completing-form-i-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I-9 Employment Verification<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryville.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/Interview-Resource-Guide.pdf\">Interview Resource Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryville.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/Interview-Stream_Student-Guide-To-Interviewing.pdf\">Interview Stream Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryville.edu\/admissions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/11\/Resume-and-Cover-Letter-Guide.pdf\">Resume and Cover Letter Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sharing-default-minimal post-bottom\"><div class=\"nectar-social default\" data-position=\"\" data-rm-love=\"0\" data-color-override=\"override\"><div class=\"nectar-social-inner\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"nectar-love\" id=\"nectar-love-629\" title=\"Love this\"> <i class=\"icon-salient-heart-2\"><\/i><span class=\"love-text\">Love<\/span><span class=\"total_loves\"><span class=\"nectar-love-count\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><a class='facebook-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Share this'> <i class='fa fa-facebook'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='twitter-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Share this'> <i class='fa icon-salient-x-twitter'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='linkedin-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Share this'> <i class='fa fa-linkedin'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='pinterest-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Pin this'> <i class='fa fa-pinterest'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Pin<\/span> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal Work Study Student Employment Federal Work Study is designed to provide part-time employment to currently enrolled º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ students who need income to help meet the costs of post-secondary education.
