Federal Work Study Program (FWS)

This program provides employment opportunities on and off campus to students who demonstrate financial need. In the event that more students are eligible for FWS than there are funds available, preference is given to students who have exceptional financial need. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for selecting recipients and determining award amounts. Jobs are not guaranteed. Students are responsible for obtaining their own jobs by convincing supervisors that they possess the skills required to complete the work. Renewal depends upon continued financial need as well as a positive evaluation of the student's performance on the job.
