Student Employment at Trinity

[Jump to openings]

Trinity offers students many opportunities to work in a variety of positions throughout the campus. From working in the Library or the Trinity Center to assisting in the Development Office or the Admissions Office, a campus job is a great way for students to become more involved in the Trinity community and earn a steady income. Campus jobs are convenient because there is no commute and the hours are flexible.

Student employment is limited to a maximum of 15 hours per week. Trinity’s Human Resources Office maintains a listing of all student employment positions and helps students complete all of the required paperwork.

Trinity students who are awarded federal work study as part of their financial aid packages are given priority for campus jobs. After students who have been awarded work study have been hired into available jobs, Trinity students who have not been awarded work study will have an opportunity to be hired into remaining available jobs.

Students eligible for work study may use their award to work off campus at several community service placements.
