Federal work study is a form of federal scholarship awarded through financial aid to help students pay for expenses while at college. This fund helps college students easily obtain part-time employment. The majority of work-study jobs available to students will be on their college campuses, and students will be paid a set hourly rate. Many off-campus employers, such as nonprofit agencies and public agencies, love to hire work study students because the students pay does not come out of their bank account but from the federal government.[1]
To apply for work study, you’ll need to fill out a Financial Application for Student Aid (FAFSA), indicate your interest in the Work Study program, and then follow your college or university’s work-study application program.Related New
