Financial Aid Work Study
 
Both the Federal Work Study and the Michigan Work Study programs provide access to student employment opportunities – both on- and off-campus.  Students may be eligible for either the federal or state Work Study award, by indicating their interest on the FAFSA.  The Work Study award is actually a “maximum eligibility amount” that the student may earn, if they secure a qualified student employment position.  The award is then paid-out to the student in the form of wages.  These Work Study “earnings” may be used to assist with various education-related expenses.  Once the student earns their maximum eligibility amount, the hiring department will determine the student's employment status.
 
Work Study eligibility does provide unique opportunities for either on-campus student employment offered by the College or for off-campus Work Study employment offered by qualified non-profit organizations and/or local/state/federal public agencies.  However, receiving a Work Study award does not guarantee employment at Lansing Community College.  Student employees are hired based on skills and abilities. 
 
Contact the Center for Employment Services (CES), room 218 Gannon Building (GB), visit the web site www.lcc.edu/ces, or call (517) 483-1172 to explore available opportunities.  CES also provides both on- and off-campus employment opportunities to students who have not received a Work Study award.
