Available Positions

Available student employment positions are posted online at www.lssc.edu/jobs. Applications must be submitted online.

Student employment positions are contingent upon available funding. Applicants will automatically be reviewed for eligibility in the Federal Work-Study program.

Eligibility

To be eligible for on-campus employment, students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours, maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA, be 18 years old or older, and not dually enrolled.

International students must possess a valid student visa and obtain a Social Security Number through the U.S. Social Security Department to be eligible for positions funded by the College. 

Federal Work-Study Program

Lake-Sumter State College administers the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program in accordance with state and federal regulations, as well as Lake-Sumter State College procedures. The LSSC Financial Aid Office is responsible for determining student eligibility.

This federally funded program provides part-time jobs for eligible students to enable them to earn part of their college expenses while gaining valuable experience.

Funds are allocated each year by the federal government based on availability, number of needy applicants, and utilization of funds in prior years. Students will be awarded based on their eligibility determined by their FAFSA information. FWS funding is limited, therefore not every student that meets the general eligibility criteria will receive an FWS award.

In order to qualify for a FWS job, a student must meet the following conditions:

Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

• Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress
• Be a citizen or have permanent residency in the United States. Students who hold visitor or student visas are not eligible to participate in this program
• Demonstrate financial need through the financial aid application process and receive an FWS award
• Have documents that establish both identity and employment eligibility (e.g., Social Security card and Driver’s License)

Students must be enrolled and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress to be eligible for the Federal Work-Study program. Visit the Financial Aid Work-Study Program web page to learn more about the program.
