Federal Work-Study Assistantships

| School/Department | Application Process |

Students will be selected by their school from a list of eligible students provided by the Financial Aid Office |
If you receive a recommendation to be considered for FWS eligibility, you should then complete all application requirements under the Applying for Aid section and await confirmation of eligibility from the Financial Aid Office. The filing requirements for FWS applicants are the same as for student loan applicants.
