• Student Employment / Work-study

The student employment program is designed to promote the part-time employment of students who are pursuing a course of study at MSOE. Most student employment positions are in the form of Federal Work-study. Work-study, because it is federally funded, is included in the total financial aid package you have been awarded by the Financial Aid Office. If you have not been awarded Federal Work-Study and are interested in employment, please contact the Financial Aid Office to see if you may qualify.

Even if you have not been awarded Federal Work-Study, feel free to use this page to assist you in your employment search.

Steps to Obtaining Student Employment:

1. Determine if you are eligible for Federal Work-Study
