Federal Work-Study Rules and Policies
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program provides part-time employment opportunities to eligible students in order to help them afford college. In this program, students whose Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) qualify them for FWS are awarded an allotment of funds which may be earned through part-time employment in FWS-approved positions either on-campus or off-campus. FWS jobs are designed to be flexible around students’ class schedules. If you wish to be considered for the FWS program, you must indicate this preference on your FAFSA and submit a work-study application to the Financial Aid Office.
