Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program

The Federal Work Study program is designed to help eligible students finance the cost of postsecondary education. Eligible students may apply for on-campus jobs or jobs with our community service partners. FWS is a great way for students to gain experience as well as support departments and the community.
