Application Steps

  1. Submit an application to the Online Writing Tutor position. Those who have previously interviewed for this position and were not hired should not reapply.

  2. Email Shelah Simpson at ssimpson@liberty.edu with your name, ID number, degree program, and area(s) of formatting expertise.
  3. Fill out and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to Liberty’s Financial Aid Office for the current and/or upcoming school year (both if applying in May or June) if you have not already done so. Also, be sure you are enrolled in a current semester or next semester course.

Please note that the position requires eligibility for federal work-study funding, though you do not need to be currently receiving aid. Any graduate-level student may apply for work-study funding and receive it if found eligible based on income and enrollment. This position pays the money earned directly to the earner if desired rather than to the earner’s tuition and would not need to be repaid. Pay rates will vary depending on several factors.
