Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a form of financial aid awarded to students who demonstrate financial need and meet certain eligibility requirements. A Federal Work Study award in a student's financial aid package is determined through the annual application for financial aid known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you are eligible, your FWS award will be listed on your Financial Aid Award letter.

  • An employment award is an offer, not a guarantee, of a job.
  • Awards typically provide approximately 10 to 12 hours of work per week.
  • Students who did not file a FAFSA are asked to wait until October 1 to obtain a job on campus.
