Federal Work Study
The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships may award FWS to eligible students as part of their financial aid package. In addition to establishing financial need through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), eligible students must be degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate students enrolled on at least a half time basis who are maintaining good academic standing. Students usually work 10 hours per week while taking classes during the academic year. The application process of receiving FWS and applying for jobs can be found here.
- The selection of students for all FWS positions is a competitive process, job placement is not guaranteed. An employment application and a job interview will be required.
- Students awarded FWS are eligible to apply for America Reads tutor positions and local community based positions with non-profit organizations. These positions are coordinated through the Community Service Learning Office.
- Visit our on-campus job announcements section to view current student employment opportunities and application procedures. Please note that in addition to providing information on FWS jobs, this list gives you information about current Institutional Employment job vacancies.
