Work-Study

Work Study provides employment opportunities for students to assist with educational costs. Award amounts may vary from year to year depending on available funding. Work-study funds are paid to students for hours worked at an MSU Denver approved work-study position. Students must be offered work study as part of their financial aid package and be enrolled at least half-time per semester. The maximum hours a student may work is 30 hours per week while classes are in session and 40 hours per week between semesters. The majority of all work-study awards are need-based, however, there are a limited number of funds made available to students who do not demonstrate need as determined by the FAFSA. Students must submit a FAFSA to be considered for work study. Funding is limited for the work-study program and not all eligible students may receive a work-study award.
