Federal Work-Study
This federally funded program provides recipients with paid work experience as part of the financial aid package. Employment may not exceed 20 hours per week while classes are in session, and 40 hours per week during other periods. Most students work 5-8 hours per week in jobs that, in many cases, are related directly to their fields of study. Minimum wage laws apply.
Federal Work-Study is a limited fund, and students wishing to receive an on-campus job as part of the Federal Work-Study Program must file the FAFSA form and meet the March 1st priority deadline. Students must meet SAP standards to utilize FWS. Campus openings will be advertised via "Handshake"-https://frostburg.joinhandshake.com/login
