Do you run a non-profit organization? Could you use help paying wages for student employees?
The Off-Campus Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program enables students to earn their FWS funds (the government subsidizes a portion of the student's employment wages) while working at approved off-campus non-profit organizations. The non-profit organization serves as the employer of the student and pays 100% of the student's wages. However, the organization is reimbursed by Northern Michigan University for 75% of the student's gross wages on a monthly basis. The result is the organization pays just 25% of the student's wages, or $0.25 for every $1.00 paid.
This program is available for the fall and winter semesters only (late August - late April). For more information regarding this program, please click here.
