Federal Work-Study Program
- Federal Work-Study is a federally funded program which provides part-time jobs to eligible undergraduate, graduate and second bachelor's degree students. Earnings must be used to defray educationally related expenses. Depending on the amount of the award, students may work up to 20 hours per week when school is in session. Jobs are usually on campus, but may be available at off-campus sites. Funding is limited.
- Students must have a complete financial aid file for the current academic year in order to be considered for FWS, be enrolled in at least six credit hours and continuing students must have a minimum of a 2.0 GPA. A student must show need in order to be considered for FWS. Funds are limited; awarding will cease when funds are exhausted.
- Students who participate in the FWS program receive a paycheck on the 1st and 15th day of each calendar month for which they are employed. The program is administered by the Office of Student Financial Services and the Student Employment Office.
