Federal Work Study (FWS) may be available to a student if you demonstrate financial need through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). A work study award allows you to apply to any of our work study job opportunities on campus. FWS awards do not go directly to student loans but are paid bi-weekly in a paycheck to student employees on regular pay days (15th and last day of month).
