Work
Study (Student Employment)
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.
