Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study Program is a financial aid initiative in the United States that provides part-time job opportunities for college students with financial need. This program allows students to earn money to help pay for their education while gaining work experience. Jobs can be on-campus or with approved off-campus employers, typically related to the student's field of study. The program aims to promote access to higher education by helping students manage their expenses and reduce dependence on loans. Importantly, the program is funded by the federal government and administered by participating colleges and universities.
