Work Study

A student who has completed a federal application (FAFSA) and has financial need may qualify for the Federal Work Student Program (FWSP). An eligible student may apply for an on-campus job and earn money to help cover educational expenses. A student must be enrolled in at least six credits and may work up to twenty (20) hours per week during the semester. Wages depend on the job responsibilities and the student's qualifications. An undergraduate with a previous baccalaureate degree is not eligible for the FWSP.

A student who has been awarded work study eligibility would have "*Work Study Elig." appear on their 'Offer of Financial Aid'. Students may contact the MSC Financial Aid Office to verify eligibility.

Part-Time Employment

A student who is not eligible for the FWSP may still find part-time employment on or off campus. MSC's Human Resources (located in the Business Office) advertises full-time, part-time, regular, term and temporary positions at MSC. A listing of temporary student positions is available at this office located in JKB 106 or on the employment opportunities page of the MSC website.

A student may not participate in co-curricular activities or student employment if their cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 (C). A student is advised to keep his/her participation in activities outside the classroom within limits that will allow them to achieve satisfactory academic performance.
