Financial Aid Employment Opportunities

Federal Work-Study/Michigan Work-Study

Students applying for financial aid may also qualify for the Federal Work-Study Program or the Michigan Work-Study Program. These programs give students the chance to earn money toward their education while going to college.

The work schedule is flexible and arranged around the student’s class schedule. Employment may be on-campus or with an eligible nonprofit organization off-campus. Eligible work-study students can also work as reading or math tutors in area elementary schools.

Whenever possible, the student’s job is related to his or her program of study. Maximum earnings in this program vary and are dependent upon financial need as determined by the federal formula.

For more information on student employment, visit the Information Center on the Dowagiac campus or the Niles Area Campus Administrative Office.
