Federal Work Study (CWSP)


Work Study is a Federal program allowing students to be employed while attending college. Federal Work-Study (FWS) provides part-time employment for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay for education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the recipient's course of study. A variety of employment options exist on campus. CWSP funds are paid bi-weekly for hours worked.
