Federal Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program utilizes federal funds to provide part-time employment for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need to help meet their educational expenses. Students with bachelor’s degrees are eligible. Students who are enrolled at least half-time may work an average of 10 to 20 hours per week. FWS employment is determined by the student’s total financial need, the student’s class schedule, and the student’s academic progress.

Awarded FWS funds are limited to availability of positions, funds, and completion of the entrance interview process. Students are paid each month, and the amount paid is according to the position and number of hours worked.
