Federal Work-Study

The Federal Work-Study program provides on-campus employment for students while they attend college. Students who receive Federal Work-Study funds must:

  • File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
  • Demonstrate need to be eligible for work-study funds.
  • Be paid at least federal minimum wage, but it is related to the type and difficulty of work that is done.
  • Perform work-study employment anywhere from 6-8 hours per week.

*The number of hours worked weekly is determined by the amount of work-study dollars awarded and financial need.

Students can also learn about regular employment opportunities both on and off campus by checking the employment bulletin board located in our office or they can look on-line


How to Apply

To apply for Federal Work-Study, simply indicate on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid that you are interested in work-study.
