Work Study

By being employed on campus through the Federal Work-Study program, students can make up to $2200 per year. Federal Work-Study is need based and requires the student to file a FAFSA.

It is important for students and their families to realize that a Federal Work-Study (FWS) award, if included in your financial aid award letter, is different than other award items in some important ways: 

• Unlike grants, scholarships and loans, FWS is NOT a guaranteed amount, since it is the student's responsibility to find a FWS job on campus.
• Unlike grants, scholarships and loans, there is NO automatic posting of dollars to the student account. This occurs only if the student takes the initiative to deposit the biweekly paycheck into their own account.  They also may use the work-study monies for their personal expenses.
• When planning how the FWS award may affect your annual costs, you must project the actual amount you expect to earn. In many cases, the actual amount may be less than the total allowed by your Financial Aid award.
