Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based employment program with limited federal funds, offered to eligible students on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are offered FWS based on financial need and availability of funding. These students earn funds by working part-time with approved FWS employers.

Offers are contingent based on available funding. Work-study is a limited-funds program, so not all eligible students will be offered FWS funding. Students who are offered work-study should accept their offer within 21 days of their aid offer email notification or it may be canceled.
Work-Study funds are paid directly to you through a paycheck — they do not automatically apply to your University bill. You can, however, save your earnings to make future tuition or fee payments.
Your work-study offer is the maximum amount you can earn. For example, if you are offered $2,000 for fall and spring, you cannot earn more than that over the course of fall/spring semesters.
