On-Campus Work Opportunities at CIA New York

Looking to gain work experience while reducing your educational expenses? The CIA offers two student work programs, Earn & Learn Tuition Offset Scholarship and Federal Work Study.

CIA Earn & Learn Tuition Offset Scholarship

Students will have the opportunity to receive an offset toward their CIA tuition and fees up to $2,625. Offsets will be determined and awarded at the start of the semester based on the agreed upon time expectations of the position for which you are selected. 

Federal Work Study Program (FWS)

The CIA offers limited part-time employment opportunities to eligible students where you are paid an hourly wage for hours worked in an eligible Federal Work Study position. Money from FWS does not pay directly to your semester bills, instead you will receive bi-weekly checks for hours worked that can help with indirect costs such as books, food, or personal expenses. 

Visit the Student Financial Planning Page of CIA Main Menu for more information, or contact the Student Financial Planning office at 845-451-1500 or [email protected].
