WHAT IS WORK-STUDY?
Work-Study is a federal nancial aid program for students with nancial need. Students earn Work-Study funds by performing
part-me work for employers who qualify for the program under federal guidelines. These employers pay only a percentage of the
student’s wages, while the federal government pays the remaining amount. To receive Work-Study, students must:
• • apply for nancial aid
• • demonstrate nancial need
Students who qualify for the Work-Study program will receive an email from the Oce of Financial Aid alerng them that they have
a Financial Aid Noce. This will note “Federal Work-Study” if a student qualies. If no Work-Study is noted, students may only apply
for the non-Work-Study jobs. For more informaon about applying for nancial aid, see the Oce of Financial Aid website at
finaid.umich.edu. For more Work-Study ps, see page 10.

WORK-STUDY TIPS
• • If you are hired for a Work-Study job, remember that you cannot begin work unl the correct hiring materials are submied to
the Human Resources Records and Informaon Services (HHRIS) oce by your new employer.
• • Work-Study students can only work during the terms for which they have been awarded Work-Study. Forexample,ifyoureceive
Work-Studyfundingforfallterm,butnotthewinterterm,youcannotworkinyourWork-Studyjobduringwinterterm.For
more informaon on dates you can work, see the Important Dates web page: studentemployment.umich.edu > UM Students >
Informaon for Students > Important Dates (Students).
• • Once you have earned all of your Work-Study funding, (even if the academic period is not over) you must stop working as a Work-
Study student. Either your employer must pay you as a temporary (non-Work-Study student) or you must nd another job that is
a non-Work-Study job. Use the tools on the website: studentemployment.umich.edu > UM Students > Informaon for Students >
Geng Paid and W-S Calculator/Tracking Sheet to help you keep track of how much of your Work-Study funding you have earned.
• • See Frequently Asked Quesons: studentemployment.umich.edu > UM Students > Informaon for Students > Frequently Asked
Quesons for more informaon on Work-Study.
