Federal Work Study Program

The Federal Work Study Program, also known as FWSP or "Work-Study," is an employment program for some, but not all, financial aid recipients. Through this 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 a student or a student to find the right job.

The Federal Work Study Program is for both undergraduate and graduate students, and consists of jobs on campus or off campus.  Students participating in the FWSP are paid at least minimum wage.  There is no limit to the amount of money a student can earn in this program.
