Students apply for work study by completing the Free
Application for Federal Aid (FASFA). The Office of Student Financial Aid and
Scholarships advises students to submit the FASFA before February 15 prior
to the fall term to be considered for campus based student aid which
includes Federal Work Study.
When the student's file is complete with the Student
Financial Aid Office, the student will be sent an award letter which may
include an offer of work study with instructions for acquiring employment.
The student must accept or decline the award offer
and return the award letter to the Student Financial Aid Office.
Once the Student Financial Aid Office receives the
award letter from the student accepting Federal Work Study, the Career
Services Center is notified of students who are eligible for work study.
The Career Services Center maintains a website which lists the students who
have accepted Federal Work Study and are eligible for hire. Students
are added to this list as the Career Center is notified by the Student
Financial Aid Office of new eligible students. No department should
hire a student on the Federal Work Study Program who is not listed as
eligible for hire on this website. Departments who do so are
responsible to pay wages from their departmental budgets to any student who
has been hired and worked who is ineligible for Federal Work Study funds.
