Federal Work-Study Program
Federal Work-Study is a federally funded, need-based program that helps provide part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate learners who demonstrate financial need as evidenced by their FAFSA. Money earned from your part-time job through the Federal Work-Study program can help you pay for your educational expenses. You can work for the university or for a private nonprofit organization or public agency. Through the Federal Work-Study program, the federal government pays from 50% to 100%of an eligible student’s wages, making it easier for an employer to hire students. The Federal Work-Study program encourages community service work, literacy tutoring and family literacy, and work related to your course of study. Wages of students serving as reading and math tutors under the America Reads and America Counts programs are reimbursed at 100%.
