Federal Work Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) provides part-time employment for students with financial need, allowing students to earn money to help pay for their educational expenses. The FWS program encourages community service work and work that is related to the recipient’s field of study when possible.
Students who are interested in a FWS position will need to complete the FWS job application and submit a resume. The application and resume will be reviewed and given consideration when open positions become available.
