Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP)
. FWSP is a
federal program that provides financial assistance through employment
on campus or with nonprofit off-campus agencies to students who
demonstrate need. Every effort is made to place students in jobs
related to their skills, interests, and fields of study. Students in
the program are limited to an average of 15 hours of work per week
during the academic year and full-time employment during approved
periods when classes are not in session. Generally, students earn at
least $5.40 per hour. Students who are offered work-study as part of
their aid package should make an appointment with the staff in the
financial aid office immediately upon arrival on campus.
On-Campus Employment.
The
Career Center assists students in finding part-time employment whether
or not students qualify for aid. Information concerning off-campus
employment opportunities also is available at this office. The Division
of Dining Services, the library, and other departments on campus also
offer employment programs.
