Student jobs on campus are funded by Grinnell College, the State of Iowa, or the Federal Government. Grinnell offers jobs first to students with demonstrated financial need. Students who work seven or eight hours a week can expect to earn about $2,000 during the academic year.

New students receiving need-based Federal or State Work-study or Grinnell Employment will be assigned their first job. New students receiving non-need-based Campus Employment will be assigned if positions are still available. Returning students are expected to return to their previous position. All students are free to search for new positions at any time.

All students must complete employment forms during New Student Orientation or at the Office of the Cashier before beginning employment. Questions regarding work eligibility should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
