Federal Work Study Program (FWSP)

FWS provides jobs for students to help pay for educational costs.  To be considered for FWS, a student must:

  • indicate on your FAFSA your interest in FWS (Question 26 on the FAFSA form)
  • have unmet financial need
  • have a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 if an undergraduate, a cumulative college GPA of 3.0 if a graduate, or an ACT composite score of 18 or higher if an entering freshman without a college GPA.

Funds are limited; therefore, students who complete their financial aid files by the published priority deadline will be given first consideration.  See Application Deadline Table for appropriate dates.

Students will be allowed to earn up to a set amount during an award period.  The normal amount awarded is $600 per quarter.  Students may work up to 20 hours per week and must be enrolled half-time to be able continue to work.  Students are paid hourly and will receive at least the current Federal minimum wage.  Paychecks are disbursed at least once monthly.  Positions are located on campus and through local, contracted, non-profit agencies.  A particular emphasis on community service opportunities exists within the FWS program.
