Federal
Work Study (FWS)
NOTE: In order to obtain an FWS position, students must possess an award from the
University Scholarships and Financial Aid Services (USFAS) Office
Overview
When students complete their Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) they indicate if they are
interested in receiving Federal Work Study. If interested students
meet certain FWS
eligibility requirements (scroll all the way down to Work/Employment),
they may be awarded FWS in their financial aid award package according
to the availability of funds. If awarded FWS, it is the student’s
responsibility to secure an FWS job (most likely on-campus) in order to
earn their award money*. The USF Career Center assists students
with their self-directed job search as outlined below. Please
note: For questions about how to receive an FWS award, contact the University
Scholarships and Financial Aid Services (USFAS) office.

*Students should discuss their hours with their department/supervisor in order to determine how much of their award they can earn. Since departments are given limited funding to which they must adhere, departments are not required to ensure students earn their full award amount.
