Federal Work-Study is a source of financial aid that is awarded by the Financial Aid Office and is based upon unmet financial need and availability of funding. Students who have not been awarded Work-Study may be ineligible, or funding has been exhausted, and are encouraged to seek alternative on-campus or local employment. Apply for positions in the local community or on-campus
