WORK-STUDY

The United States Federal Work Study (FWS) program pledges federal government funds to pay 100% of an eligible student’s wages. Eligible students demonstrate financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA). Therefore, the University Libraries mainly hires students with work study eligibility.
