Employment
Employment is another funding option for students who need assistance
with educational expenses. Employment opportunities available at UMBC
include:
Campus Employment
The Career Services Center offers
a variety of services and programs that can help students supplement their
college expenses. Career specialists are available to meet with students
to assist with the job search process. Part-time employment opportunities,
both on and off-site are made available 24/7 through UMBCworks,
an online job database. Students can also access UMBCworks through myUMBC
by clicking on 'Topics' then 'Jobs and Internships'.
The center also sponsors several job fairs annually, including a Summer
and Part-Time Job/Internship Fair in February (co-sponsored by the Shriver
Center) and an On-Campus Job Fair (during fall orientation) where campus
departments recruit student assistants. Some examples of employment opportunities
may include, but are not limited to, resident assistant, OIT helpdesk
and assistant web designer.
For students who may not have 10-20 hours to dedicate to a permanent,
part-time job, the Student Temporary Workforce is another option. Students
in this program can provide assistance with special events, administrative
support, and technical help on an as-needed basis. For more information,
call 410-455-2216 or stop by the center, located in Math/Psychology 204.
Federal Work-Study (FWS)
FWS is awarded to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need. The
award ranges from $500 to $2000 per year and priority is given
to students who meet the FAFSA priority application deadline
of February 14th.
If you are eligible for FWS it may be part of your financial
aid package. However,
if it is not part of your initial package and you would like to be considered
for FWS, contact your counselor to be placed on the waiting list.
Finding a Position
Once you have been awarded FWS, view the list of Federal
Work-Study
job postings available after August 1. Contact the department of interest
to set up an interview.
Begin Work
Students who have secured employment and completed all necessary
payroll paperwork are eligible to begin work the first day of class
each fall or spring term. Students with federal work-study awards must
find employment by September 15 or awards will be cancelled for non-response.
Due to limited funding, cancelled awards cannot automatically be reinstated.

for a department in exchange for room, board or both.
Students may inquire about workship opportunities directly through the
departments.
