Student Employment
GSD students have the option to pursue employment while they are in school. However the availability of jobs can vary based on the individual student's situation. Many employers, though certainly not all, prefer to hire students who have received either Federal Work-Study (for US citizens or permanent residents) or the International Employment Award (for international students) as part of their financial assistance. These two work awards pay a large portion of a student's salary, making it more cost effective to hire recipients of those awards.
Work Study job opportunities are often posted on GSD bulletin boards as well as Harvard University's Student Employment Office. All students should ask about any employment restrictions before accepting a job.
US students who have been awarded Federal Work-Study and are ready to sign up for their job(s) should visit the Work Study Information page for more details.
International students who are interested in applying for the International Employment Award should review the Internathional Employment Award webpage for more details.
