Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program allows students to earn money while attending college and provides valuable work experience.
All jobs are available on the college campus. The hourly rate varies depending on the type of work you do and your skill level. You may work between 10 - 12 hours per week and you cannot earn more than your maximum FWS award. Work-study students must be registered for at least six credits.
All returning work-study students must complete a new contract (available in Student Financial Services) each academic year. Funding for this program is limited.
For more information please see the Federal Work Study Fact Sheet.
How to Apply
You can apply for federal work-study in your FAFSA application. If you did not express an interest in the Federal Work-Study program in your FAFSA, you can contact Student Financial Services regarding eligibility.
