Student Employment

The Federal College Work-Study Program (FCWSP) is an employment program that provides on and off campus work experience opportunities for students while gaining an education. The FCWSP is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on your financial need. The average Work-Study award is $2,700 per year (fall-spring). Funding for FCWSP is awarded at the beginning of the school year to eligible students until the funds are exhausted.

Awarding Work-study and Eligibility Requirements

If you are interested in applying for the work-study program you first must have completed a Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA).  Secondly you must submit a work-study application to the financial aid office, and finally, you will be required to attend a College Work Study Seminar during the semester you are hired.

  • Federal Work-Study students' work hours are calculated and contingent on the annual allocation.
  • A student cannot earn more than the amount of his or her award.
