In 1963, the Colorado legislature created Metropolitan State University of Denver as a comprehensive, baccalaureate degree-granting institution. The university offers arts and sciences, professional and business courses and programs to a diverse student population. MSU Denver is located on the Auraria Campus, in Downtown Denver, which they share with Community College of Denver and University of Colorado at Denver.
The Student Employment Program at Metropolitan State University of Denver is intended to provide students paid jobs to off-set their educational expenses; while garnering professional experience to enhance their leadership skills.
For-profit, Non-profit and government agencies, that are not politically affiliated, may hire Metropolitan State University of Denver federal work-study students to work part-time in their offices. Depending on the type of employer, there are different allocations requirements that must be met. For-Profit Off-Campus agencies agree to pay 50% of a student’s wage, while the other 50% derives from the student’s federal work-study award. Non-Profit and Government Off-Campus agencies agree to pay 25% of a student’s wage, while the other 75% derives from the student’s federal work-study award. Work-study is allocated based on the financial aid package a student receives. A student must indicate on their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) they are interested in work-study. Students may also contact a Financial Aid Counselor and indicate their interest in work-study.
*Students who receive No-Need Work Study are not eligible to work off-campus through the work-study program.
Students must be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours and maintain a satisfactory academic progress to keep their award. If a student drops below 6 credits during the semester, they lose their work-study award through the Office of Financial Aid. Therefore, any hours worked after the loss of their award will be billed 100% to the agency or department where they are working.
