The LMU Partners Program provides students with the opportunity to be hired with Work Study funds to work off campus with contracted non-profit organizations across the Los Angeles area. By working off-campus with these organizations, LMU students hone their business skills and build their resume for future careers.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
- The work assigned to the students by the organization will be (a) in the public interest and (b) will not result in the displacement of employed workers or impair existing contracts for services. Both parties agree that no students will be denied work or be subjected to discrimination under this agreement on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, national origin or disability.
- Once an organization is approved as an LMU Partner, the organization is willing to pay 25% of the actual compensation payable to each student employed at the organization/agency. The organization will be billed on a monthly basis by the University. The remaining 75% will be covered by the University's work study funding. Lower percentage splits may be offered if the non-profit organization can demonstrate financial hardship.
FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
