What is the difference between federal work study

applied for and received financial aid from the government. This money is referred to
as Federal Work Study. This classification is the only difference between a work study
student employee and a regular student employee. Contact the Financial Aid Office for
additional details on this program.

employment openings is posted on the Career Services bulletin boards. This
list may also be picked up at Career Services, or viewed on our on-line job

What is the difference between Federal
Work Study (FWS) positions and regular Student Worker (SW) positions?

allows Federal Work Study (FWS) students to apply for "FWS" positions on campus as
well as "SW" positions. Student workers (SW) are students who have not received financial
aid. Student Workers can only apply for "SW" positions. Contact the Financial Aid Office
