LaTara Misher, Financial Aid Coordinator, discussed how becoming a student worker can provide an income without even leaving campus, and the role student workers play in sustaining campus unity.
“We invite students to apply for Work-Study on the FAFSA application, and celebrate those student employees, whom without their service, TMCC would not operate as smoothly. We are always hiring for on-campus jobs, so if students have completed their FAFSA forms, we encourage them to apply for Work-Study jobs,” Misher said.
Our Work-Study Program is a great way to gain job experience, and put some cash in your pocket, too. It also weaves you into the fabric of our community, and you’ll meet like-minded students who realize that no monetary amount can bar them from achieving their college goals. Your endgame is the same as ours, and crossing that finish line at Commencement will be oh so satisfying. We understand the cost of tuition can be daunting, but TMCC was designed with affordability in mind. Your knowledge is invaluable to us!
