Federal Work Study

Federal Work Study (FWS) employees are active students who are awarded a fixed amount of maximum earnings over a specific time period as part of the student's financial aid award package. A portion of each student's earned hourly wage will be paid by federal funds, provided that the hours worked are properly documented and the FWS employee's time record is certified and signed by the FWS employee's supervisor. Generally the student employees work between 10 and 25 hours per week in student service and community service positions. Eligible and approved FWS employment positions may be on campus or off campus in approved non-profit community service organizations
