Learn About Jobs and Wages
With numerous positions available at Cornell, the Student Wage and Classification Scale is categorized into four levels. These levels are based on job responsibilities, required skills and experience, level of supervision, and degree of decision-making required.
Work-Study
Work-study is a need-based, “self-help” financial aid that allows students to work to meet a portion of their education costs. Eligible students are offered work-study in their financial aid package each year. Students can then earn this funding by working in an hourly student employment position paid from university payroll. Work Study does not mean that students are paid to study but rather work in jobs to earn money.
