Federal Work Study

The “Federal Work Study” (FWS) Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate ­students with financial need, allowing students to earn money to help pay educational expenses. The program encourages community service and work related to the students’ course of study. Applications are available at the Career Center.

This is a Title IV program which provides employment to undergraduate students who are in the need of earnings in order to help defray the cost of their education. To be eligible, a student must show demonstrated need, be enrolled, and must be making satisfactory academic progress while employed. Students are eligible to work 20 hours per week maximum. Most worksites are on campus.
