Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work Study (FWS) Program provides funds for part-time jobs that allow students to earn money needed to pay for educational expenses. Unlike other financial aid programs, the Federal Work-Study Program provides you with an actual job (and a paycheck!) where you have to work to earn your money. In addition to the financial benefits, a Federal Work-Study job allows you to meet other students and network with faculty/staff and administrators. Students are encouraged to find positions that provide work experience in their field of study or provide valuable service to the community. Positions are available both on and off campus. All FWS students must stop by Career Development Services, Student Success Center at Hill Hall Suite 210, to complete a Hiring Authorization Form before you begin working.
