The Federal Work Study Program
Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student’s course of study.
Being awarded Federal Work-Study does not guarantee a job. Accepting the Federal Work-Study funds is just the first step. Students are then required to apply for, and interview for positions, just like any other job.
Here’s a quick overview of Federal Work-Study:
- It provides part-time employment while enrolled in school.
- It’s available to undergraduate, and graduate students with financial need.
- It’s available to full-time or part-time students.
- To be considered, you must mark ‘yes’ to the question on your FAFSA that asks if you are interested in student employment (work study program)
