Federal Work Study Guide

Introduction

This guide is general information for students participating in the Federal Work Study program. It will help you understand the basic requirements for participation as well as your responsibilities as a work study student. The Federal Work Study award is the self-help portion of your financial aid package. Because you have been awarded Federal Work Study does not mean employment is guaranteed, or that once employed, you will retain that position. Hiring is granted on a first-come first-served basis, usually the beginning of each quarter. It will be your responsibility to find an open position on campus, based on the list of job opportunities. See the student payroll coordinator located in LSC-231 for this list.
