Federal Work Study Jobs

This financial aid program is funded jointly by the federal government and either the University or a non-profit agency which has been pre-approved by the University. Under this program, you must apply for work study funds each year and meet federal eligibility requirements.

If you receive a work study award, the amount of the award is not credited directly to your account. Under this program, you work for hourly pay and receive a biweekly paycheck for services rendered at a pre-approved Federal Work Study Employer. Work study funds are not awarded for the summer.

Applying for Work Study Funds
Separate financial aid applications are required for each academic year that you wish to be considered for the work study program. For you to receive financial assistance, including work study funds, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available through the University's Office of Student Financial Assistance in their office on the ground floor of the Marvin Center, 800 21st Street NW, and online at the Office of Student Financial Assistance website.

The Office of Student Financial Assistance will notify you of its decision by mail. If you qualify for work study, the maximum amount of money to be earned will be specified in the financial aid award letter. To retain the award offer, you must officially accept the work study award by returning the reply form by the stated deadline.
