Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program

FWS jobs are part-time jobs on campus or with non-profit agencies that allow students to earn money toward their educational expenses. An award received through the FWS Program is paid directly to the student unless other arrangements have been made. The student must be enrolled full time. During the academic year, the student can work up to 20 hours per week. During vacation periods and summer months, the student may work up to 35 hours per week. The student is compensated at an hourly rate established by the Financial Aid Office and commensurate with the work performed.
