Federal Work-Study

Federal Work-Study is need-based employment on a part-time, hourly basis.  The rate of pay for such jobs is regulated by the federal minimum wage law.  To qualify for Federal Work-Study, you must be enrolled, be in good academic standing, and have a demonstrated financial need.  This program is available to both undergraduate and graduate students.  To qualify, file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid by the February 15 deadline and indicate on the FAFSA that you are interested in this program.  For detailed information on Federal Work-Study click here.
