Additionally, departments within Alfred State can request
student workers with specific skills and the work-grant coordinator attempts to
meet those needs with appropriate student assistance.
Students funded through the Ed Foundation to work in
specific areas on campus are considered “regular” employees of the college and
are expected to maintain the level of professionalism required of their
colleagues.
Currently for the 2019-2020 award year, six students were
able to find employment with the offices of Athletics; Equity Inclusion and
Title IX; Engineering and International Affairs through the work-grant program.
The program provides students with employment opportunities, and campus offices
with student personnel who have specialized talents.
The program is administered through the Student Records and
Financial Services Office.
The Educational Foundation of Alfred, Inc., is a private
foundation representing faculty, staff, and friends of Alfred State dedicated
to improving the college community through the support of educational
programs. The activities pursued by the
Educational Foundation of Alfred, Inc., are governed by a board of directors
made up of representatives from each of the following groups: alumni, College
Council, faculty and staff, and friends of the college.
The Foundation provides monetary support to enhance learning
opportunities for students through scholarships, work grants, and community
service projects. The Ed Foundation also
funds the Building Trades programs’ hands-on home construction projects.
Additionally, the Foundation owns and maintains the School
of Applied Technology campus in Wellsville.
The 22-acre parcel consists of more than 20 buildings with over 700
students enrolled in 14 programs. The programs, which stress “learning by
doing,” incorporate traditional classroom experience with comprehensive
“on-the-job” laboratory experiences.
Since 1966, the Foundation has invested more than $8 million
in improvements on the campus.
