Information
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program is a federally funded campus-based program designed to create additional job opportunities for students eligible to participate in need-based financial aid programs. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student's course of study.

A FWS award will not automatically credit to your university charges. In order to activate your FWS award, you need to apply and be hired in a FWS job.
