Student Employment

Working and Learning

Blue Mountain Community College utilizes the talents of its students through part-time Student Employment. At the same time, student employees gain valuable work experience and have the opportunity to work within their field of study.

In addition to Federal Work Study (FWS), BMCC also offers campus-funded student employment. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for administering both FWS and campus-based student employment funds (including general and department funds).

Have unmet need equivalent to the amount of work-study offered;
