The Federal Work-Study Program is a federally funded financial aid program designed to assist qualifying students to meet their educational expenses through on-campus employment. Depending on work performed and the skills and experience necessary for the job, FWS students are paid at varying rates.

Wages are paid on a bi-weekly basis. FWS jobs are an excellent opportunity to develop a professional history as well as gain experience and technical knowledge. Many FWS students also use their supervisors and employers for job references and recommendations.

FWS awards to students are dependent upon the student's financial need, and the University's annual FWS allocation.
