Federal Work Study

The Federal Work Study Program (FWSP) is self-help assistance earned on a wage-per-hour basis through assigned part-time employment at on campus or off-campus locations. An effort is made to provide each FWSP recipient with a work experience that will complement his or her skills and/or academic objective. The hourly rate is at least the federal minimum wage and students are paid twice monthly according to hours worked. To be eligible for work study a student must have financial need and be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours.
