Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP).  Federal work-study employment may be offered as a self-help portion of the financial aid award. Application for this program is made by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. On-campus jobs are available in many areas. Selection for a particular job is based on skills, job availability, university needs, and student preference. The assigned employment opportunity is based on an expectation that the student will work between five and 15 hours weekly throughout the fall and spring academic semesters; in the case of summer assignments, the expectation is that the student will work between 20 and 35 hours per week. Off-campus employment, including paid community service positions and reading tutorial jobs in elementary schools, also are available. No job assignments are made until all paperwork required to accept the aid is complete.

Preceptorships and Counselorships.  Appointments as preceptors or counselors in the various undergraduate residence halls are available to a limited number of graduate students. The offices of the deans of students of those colleges will, upon request, provide information regarding the duties required of preceptors and counselors, the benefits, such as room, board, and tuition grants, and the procedures for application. Applications for September appointments must be received before May 1.
