Federal Work Study Program
What is The Federal Work Study Program?
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program gives students the opportunity to earn part or all of their financial aid by working on-campus or off-campus in community service positions while they are in school. Examples include: teacher's aide, clerk, grounds person, custodian, and lab assistant. Your wage will be determined by the type and difficulty of the work for which you are hired.
