Federal Work Study

Federal Work Study (FWS) is a federally subsidized program through which graduate and undergraduate students earn a FWS award by working with approved employers. To be considered for FWS, students must meet Office of Student Financial Aid criteria.

The amount of funds earned depends on the FWS award. Most students work 12-20 hours a week. FWS students may not work over 20 hours per week while school is in session. A student employee who earns $8.00 an hour and is scheduled for 12 hours a week could earn $1440.00 per semester.

For more information about FWS, please contact the Office of Financial Aid, 301-314-9000.
