The FWS Program gives students the chance to earn money to help pay for education-related expenses. The primary purpose of the FWS Program is to provide eligible students with flexible work opportunities that may complement their career aspirations. FWS employment is really just like any part-time job. Students must apply for vacant positions.
Students earn real money, and are paid by check every two weeks.
Students must show up to work on time and perform assigned duties, and are subject to termination. One of the only things that is different about an FWS position from any other part-time job is that FWS wages are subsidized by federal student aid. Students DO NOT have to be eligible for the Pell Grant to demonstrate financial need. To apply for a particular FWS position, you need to inquire at the Office of Career Services, room 118. The decision on hiring and setting work hours will be determined by the hiring supervisor.
