Students must complete the following steps to
qualify for work study:
|
1. |
Students apply for the program by using the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid Application (FAFSA). The application
is available at any high school, library or financial aid office
or branch campus. This document will provide financial data
necessary to compute the student's need. It is mailed by the
student, using the envelope in the FAFSA, to the processing
center or students can complete the form on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
|
2. |
The federal processing center takes approximately three to
six weeks to send a document, entitled the Student Aid Report
(SAR), directly to the applicant. Once received by the student,
the SAR should be brought immediately to the Office of Student Financial Services, located in the Prahl College Center, Lower Level.
|
3. |
Students are then required to complete the MCC Financial Aid
Application and supply the Office of Student Financial Services with requested documentation
(i.e. income tax forms, SSI statements, etc.).
|
4. |
The Office of Student Financial Services mails the Financial Aid Award Letter (see Appendix
A), indicating an award to participate in the work study program,
to students. The amount of the work study award is the amount
of money a student may earn per semester while participating
in the program. Students must accept the work study award to
be eligible for the program. The amount of the work study award
may change if other sources of aid are subsequently disbursed,
for example loans, scholarships, etc. It is the students' responsibility
to monitor their earnings and not exceed the awarded amount.
|
5. |
Students accepting work study must contact the Student Employment Center, located in the upper level of the Prahl College Center, room 2050, for further information about College Work Study. Students must also attend
a Student Employment Orientation and complete registration for
student employment and all required verification forms prior
to obtaining referrals for work.
