Federal Work-study is a program that provides jobs for graduate students demonstrating financial need. Most Federal Work-study positions are available on campus. However, there are several opportunities for students to work off campus performing community service work.

The amount of your Federal Work-study offer as indicated in your Financial Aid Package is the maximum you are allowed to earn. You will be paid directly for Federal Work-study earnings in the form of a paycheck. Federal Work-study awards are not credited to your student account.

Federal Work-study earnings are excluded from income on your subsequent year’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), so it doesn’t affect your eligibility for financial aid in the future.
