Federal Work Study

The Federal Work-Study program offers students the opportunity to earn money through part-time employment. Federal Work-Study is similar to any other job, with the major difference being that the federal government pays a portion of the earned wages, and the campus employer contributes the remainder. Job opportunities may include either on-campus or local off-campus employers.

Federal Work-Study eligibility is based on financial need and requires a student to submit a FAFSA for consideration.
