We have two sources of funding for student employment; Federal College Work Study, which is a need based program and Auxiliary, which is a non-need based program.

The National Student Employment Association (NSEA) declares the second full week in April to be the National Student Employment Week. It was established to increase public awareness and to recognize students who work while pursuing higher education. Student employees perform invaluable services with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. Colleges and Universities across the country recognize the importance of student employees. Fairmont State University also celebrates and recognizes these students for their achievements in their student employment positions.

National Student Employment Week is April 13-17, 2026.

We will hold a luncheon to celebrate our student employees on April 14, 2026 in Room 106 of the Turley Center.
