Federal Work-Study (FWS)Frequently Asked Questions How do I find a job? Would you like to increase the amount of your work study award?
Federal Work-Study (FWS)Awarded amount ranges from $1,200 to $2,400 per year
The Federal Work-Study program encourages community service by providing jobs on campus and at nonprofit agencies in the community. Earnings from these jobs enable you to help pay for educational expenses. If you are interested in work-study file the FAFSA early.
Work-Study is available to high-need undergraduate and graduate students. Postbaccalaureate students not enrolled in a degree program are ineligible for work-study.
Students awarded FWS dollars will be assisted by the Payroll Office (Churchill 160) in completing the required referral forms before beginning work. To prove work authorization, students will need to present their driver's license and social security card, or a certified birth certificate or passport to the Payroll Office. Extensive information about policies and procedures is available in the Student Employment Handbook.
Most FWS students work approximately ten hours a week. The rate of pay depends on the type of job and the level of experience required. Work-Study students receive monthly paychecks based on the number of hours worked.
