The Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based, federally funded program that allows the college to employ you while you earn educational credits. FWS funds are available to eligible students who qualify through the FAFSA.
It does NOT directly pay for tuition. These part-time jobs generally will not exceed nineteen (19) hours per week with a pay rate equal to at least the minimum wage. Read more detailed information on the Department of Education's Federal Work-Study Program Website.
