Federal Work Study
Federal Work Study (FWS) funds provide opportunities for students to work part-time and earn
income to help meet educational expenses. Salaries are usually equal to current minimum wage,
but the maximum amount a student may earn in an academic year is determined by the Office of
Student Financial Services. Federal Work Study awards generally range from $300 - $3000 per
academic year. Federal Work Study students are encouraged to perform community service
employment and/or to participate in the America Reads Program. Funds are limited and awarded
to eligible students who meet the priority service deadline, then to others.
