Federal Work Study Program (FWS)

The FWS program is a federal program which enables a student to earn part of his or her financial aid award through employment. To be eligible, a student must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, enrolled in at least six units and maintain good academic standing while employed under the program. Hourly wages vary with the type of work and the student's experience. Work study may also be available for students qualifying for financial aid during the summer.
