Work-Study Program
MBU’s work-study program lets students work on-campus, part-time positions to help finance their education.
Work-study positions can offer greater flexibility and accessibility than off-campus jobs, and look great on resumes! Read on to see if you’re eligible to apply.
About Work-Study
The federal work-study program offers on-campus positions for MBU students who have demonstrated financial need. Here’s how it works:
- Students approved for federal work-study may apply for any open positions through MBU’s Student Employment Program.
- If hired, these students will work part-time to receive federal funds via paycheck — just like any other job.
- Best of all, these funds won’t count towards a student’s overall income, so they won’t reduce future financial aid earned through the FAFSA application.
How to Apply
- Determine your eligibility for work-study by submitting the FAFSA.
- Students deemed eligible for work-study who are enrolled at least part-time can apply for open positions through the Student Employment Program* by contacting Suzie Dull at msdull@marybaldwin.edu. They can apply to as many open positions as they wish but can only accept one position.
- Applications are reviewed by the position’s supervisor, who will contact applicants directly to set up interviews, fill the position, or create work schedules. Relevant paperwork including tax forms must be submitted to the student employment coordinator in the Financial Aid Office.
*Work study eligibility does not guarantee employment through the Student Employment Program.
