Student Employment

Work-study is aid that is earned by obtaining a work-study position on campus or in the community and then working no more than 19 hours a week at that job.  Work-study is need based and limited in funding, therefore not all students will qualify for it. A student awarded work-study will only receive the funding if they secure a position and work the hours. Though work-study funding is taxable income, it is excluded from student wages on the FAFSA in the upcoming year. Learn more about work-study.

Handshake is a platform for UM students to connect with employeers. UM students use Handshake to find jobs and internships, register for career events, connect with employers and more.
