Federal Work-Study is a federally funded Title IV financial-aid program. Students
apply for financial aid and, based on their need and eligibility, may be awarded Federal
Work-Study as part of their financial aid package. Students use their Federal Work-Study
award to work on campus in jobs approved for Federal Work-Study. (There are some limited
off-campus Federal Work-Study positions.) This allows students to earn money and gain
professional experience while they are enrolled in college. Student earnings are limited
to the amount of their Federal Work-Study award.
Federal Work-Study students typically work up to 19.5 hours per week but may work
more or fewer hours depending upon class schedule and the needs of the hiring department.
More hours per week will reduce the award faster.
Federal Work-Study students are typically paid in the range of $15 hour.

the "My Student Center" link on the left side; on the next page, under the Finances
tab, you can see a "View Financial Aid" link that will allow you to see your financial
aid award. It may be helpful to print this page to take to your interview.
