The Federal Work Study program, FWS, is a campus based federally funded program that helps full-time, Undergraduate students earn financial funding through a part-time work program. These funds can be used to assist students with the costs of postsecondary education. The FWS program is called campus based because it is administered directly by the Office of Financial Aid. How much aid you receive in work study depends on your financial need, on the amount of other aid you have been awarded, and on the availability of funds at the College. Unlike other Federal programs, campus based programs provide a certain amount of funds for each participating school to administer each year. When the money for the FWS program is gone, no additional work study awards can be made for that year. FWS encourages community service and work related to your course of study.
