What Lycoming Says About Student Work

Lycoming's student employment program is designed to help students earn money for miscellaneous expenses while building professional habits. The college says students in the program usually work about 8-9 hours per week and may not work more than 20 hours per week.

For international students on F-1 status, the college allows on-campus work during the academic year, with summer hours also permitted on campus. Off-campus employment is not allowed unless it is authorised as OPT or CPT.

Nearby Community Service Employers

Lycoming's FAQ names several community service partners that students may be able to work with if they qualify for Federal Work-Study, including:

• Habitat for Humanity
• James V. Brown Library
• North Penn Legal Services
• The Center
• Thomas T. Taber Museum

Best Fit For September 2026

For students arriving in the September 2026 intake, the best strategy is to apply early for on-campus jobs once the student portal opens and to think of campus employment as part of the college experience, not just extra spending money.

Lycoming is a good option if you want part-time work that supports your studies rather than distracting from them.
