<p>I think the M center would have this information. I might be wrong, but if you have been admitted I would contact them. Unless your looking for a current student’s perspective. When I did my over night visit they explained to me that there are all kinds of available work study programs that vary in difficulty and salary.</p>

<p>I just contacted someone from the M center. He told me that work study is only available to students who live on campus-- something I will not be doing. I am going to the admitted student preview day and I will definitely be talking to the M center about any other opportunities. I got my financial aid packet and its actually really good! But I have a gap of almost $10,000, and I was hoping work study would be able to help with that.</p>
