The total FWS award depends on when the student applies, the level of need, and available funding level of the school. Work-Study jobs are available both on and off campus. If a student works on campus, they will usually work for the school. If a student works off campus, the employer most likely will be a private nonprofit organization or public agency. Off campus work assignments are generally in the public's interest.
Some schools have agreements with private for-profit employers.
The student's course of study must be relevant to the position offered by the for-profit employer. Recipients may work up to 20 hours per week.
