Additionally, departments within Alfred State can request student workers with specific skills, and the work-grant coordinator attempts to meet those needs with appropriate student assistance.
Students funded through the Ed Foundation to work in specific areas on campus are considered “regular” employees of the college and are expected to maintain the level of professionalism required of their colleagues.
For award year 2015-2016, eight students from Student Engagement; Physical and Life Sciences; Equity, Inclusion, and Title IV; the School of Applied Technology; Athletics; and International Affairs have received funding through the work-grant program.
The program is administered through the Student Records and Financial Services Office.
