Spotlight: Student Employment

Working while going to school requires efficient time management, but a job can be an important part of the GU Experience. Gonzaga is all about real-world application, and there’s no better forum to put into practice what you learn in the classroom than at a job. There are several types of employment opportunities both on- and off- campus, and the Student Employment Office is dedicated to assisting your job search.

  • Institutional: Open to any Gonzaga student and is department funded.

Off-Campus Jobs at Gonzaga

  • State Work Study (SWS): Based on financial need as determined by your FAFSA.  Eligibility questions  should be directed to your financial aid counselor.
  • Community Job Board: Postings from individuals and businesses in the area.
