Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) is a federal financial aid initiative that provides part-time job opportunities for college students with financial need. These jobs can be on or off campus and are designed to help students earn money to cover education-related expenses while gaining work experience. The program encourages community service and skill development, and students earn wages that are often subsidized by the government, making employment more affordable. Eligibility and job availability vary, but participation supports both educational funding and practical work skills.
