Federal and Michigan Work-Study Awards:

U.S. citizens and permanent residents can apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Receiving funds awarded under the Work-Study Program is not guaranteed. It is dependent on funding, registering and attending classes, locating a job on-campus and maintaining employment throughout the academic year. The number of hours you will be working per week will depend on the department's needs, the amount of your award, and your schedule. Students that have maximum eligibility are budgeted for 25 hours per week; no more than eight hours per day, at $7.40 an hour. A lower eligibility amount means the student must work less than 25 hours per week

Acceptance of a Work Study Award may affect other aid sources, including student loans.

• Students must go to the Student Employment Center located in the upper level of the Prahl College Center, room 2020. Workstudy will be awarded to eligible students and may affect other aid sources including student loans.
