The Office of Human Resources administers the placement for the Federal Work Study Program.  The Federal Work Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses.  The program encourages community service

and work that is related to students' course of study.  Unlike other types of financial aid, work study is paid directly to  the student as it is earned.  There are a wide variety of work study  positions available on and off campus with schedules designed to  meet each student's needs.  The best time to schedule a work study  appointment is when you are ready to begin work.

Eligibility is determined by completing the federal financial aid application process. You must complete the FAFSA and you must accept Work Study on your Student Aid Award Letter. All on-campus FWS job vacancy listings are posted on the web site. This site is under construction and will be up later this summer in time for fall session.

Each student is responsible for his/her own job search. When classes are in session, students may work up to 20 hours per week on the FWS payroll. No student is allowed to work over his/her maximum earnings limit on the FWS payroll.

If your financial aid package does not include FWS, make an appointment with the Office of Student Financial Services to inquire about the availability of funds and to determine your eligibility.

For more information on student employment, see the Student Employment Handbook available from the Office of Human Resources.
