Eligibility for participation with the Federal Work Study Program is determined by the Financial Aid Office on a yearly basis.  Any student interested in working through this program must complete a FAFSA form at the beginning of each calendar year.  Students must continue to apply for Financial Aid each year.  Only those students that are eligible and have accepted the Federal Work Study award are eligible to apply to designated Work Study jobs.

Once you have qualified for Federal Work Study and have accepted the award, you will be contacted by the Student Employment office.  As a first time Federal Work Study student, you are required to attend an orientation session.  Notification of these Orientation Sessions will be sent to you during July and December.

At these scheduled sessions you will complete the required employment paperwork and will be oriented on the Federal Work Study Program.  Federal Work Study students are only required to attend an orientation once.

Please be aware that you will need to bring to school one of the following documents in order to work: Social Security card, Birth Certificate, Permanent Resident card, or US Passport.

The amount of money you are eligible to earn is based upon the award given to you by the Financial Aid Office.  Your wages are paid, based on an hourly rate, for the number of hours that you work each month.  If you do not earn all your Work Study compensation by the end of the academic year, the funds are put back in the Federal Work Study fund for the following year (this does not affect your other Financial Aid in any way).
