Federal Work-Study Employment

  • Determined based on the annual completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • Offered to students for the entire academic year. The total amount offered is split between the fall and spring semesters.
  • Calculate the total number of hours per semester a student may work to earn his/her full work-study award using the formula:
    Work-Study Award ÷ Pay Rate = Total Hours

Student Labor Employment
