Opportunities to Gain Experience at Pepperdine

At the beginning of each academic year, some students who demonstrate financial need will be awarded with Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) or ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Work Program (PWP) funds as a part of their financial aid package. Through the Federal Work-Study Program or ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Work Program, the student may earn up to the amount of his/her award by working for an on-campus FWS/PWP job or an approved off-campus community service partner.

For those with no work-study awards, there are numerous on-campus departmental and off-campus positions available for students. Those without an award have as many opportunities to find positions fitting their interests as do those awarded with FWS or PWP.

To begin your journey, view the various opportunities offered by Pepperdine to earn extra income and meaningful work experiences:
