PACE Program

Providing Aid Through Campus Employment

Imagine working in a physical therapy lab as a freshman. Or helping to keep Elon's Spanish Center running smoothly. Maybe you're the ideal candidate to organize statistics about college access for the Elon Academy. Better yet -- imagine working in one of these positions (or any number of others) as a means to help pay your tuition.

Elon's PACE program, which began in fall 2011, was created to help talented students for whom campus employment will pivotally impact their ability to attend Elon. Students in the program will be matched with part-time jobs in campus departments or programs and are guaranteed a campus job with earnings of $3,000 per academic year. Not only will these jobs provide additional income, they are also designed to create meaningful work experiences.

Not sure how to go about finding a job? No problem.

When you arrive in the fall, you'll work with René Jackson, coordinator of the PACE program, to review the PACE job registry and select positions for which you would like to apply.

Students will be identified for the program through the financial aid process; an additional application is not necessary. The program is restricted to incoming freshmen, but once accepted into the PACE program, students are eligible to remain in the program for their four years at Elon.
