Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP).
FWSP
employment may be offered as a portion of the financial aid award to
U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens. Application for this program,
as well as for all federal aid programs, is made by filing the FAFSA. Students in the law program may choose to work in the Rutgers School of
Law-Newark, in the Law Library, in cooperating legal services offices
off campus, or in other non-profit community service agencies. All jobs
assigned through the FWSP are paid positions. Off-campus employment may
be limited to returning students. Selection for a particular job is
based on skills, job availability, university needs, and student
preference. A completed Work-Study Job Application and an employment
authorization form must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid
before employment can begin.
