Questions & Answers Regarding Work Study
How will I know if I am eligible?
The award letter you receive from the university should reflect either an award for Michigan Work Study or College Work Study.
What if my award letter does not reflect a Work Study Award?
- If you did complete and submit a FAFSA Form, and your award letter did not list a Work Study Award, you may contact the financial aid office at SVSU. They will determine if you are eligible.
- If you did not complete and submit a FAFSA Form, you will need to do so and as soon as possible to determine your eligibility.
- If you do not qualify for Michigan Work Study or College Work Study, you may still be eligible for a regular student employment job on-campus. You will need to contact the Office of Career Planning and Placement for employment opportunities.
Is the awarded amount listed on my award letter applied to the cost of my tuition?
These funds are not automatically applied to your student account. You will be paid every two weeks in the form of a check.
