Federal Work Study

The Federal College Work-Study Program is a form of federal financial aid that has unique characteristics. Unlike Grants, which do not have to be paid back, and Loans, which do have to be paid back, Federal Work-Study is a self-help program. It is a way of assisting students who need part-time employment income to help them meet their educational expenses. In other words, the money is there to assist you, but you need to earn it.

When a student receives a Federal Work-Study award as part of their financial aid package, the federal government is providing money to pay the student’s wages when that student works on campus in a Federal Work-Study funded position.
