The Office of Career Services is responsible for the administration of the Student Employment Program. All jobs on campus in both of these programs are listed with the Office of Career Services and students may use the Job Board outside the office to review available opportunities. FWS is a financial award and is given as part of the financial aid package. It is not an outright gift, but an amount that can be earned by working in jobs on or off-campus.
Money earned is to be used at the student's discretion.
It may be used to pay for books, living expenses, or other college costs. Students are encouraged to utilize this financial aid funding wisely. If a student does not find suitable employment and earn the amount of the financial aid award, the student will not receive the money allotted. Students receiving FWS awards are given a three-week advantage in applying for jobs on campus. FWS can also be earned from off-campus jobs if the positions are in service to the community and are in the public interest.
