The Federal Work Study program is a need-based program that provides opportunities for employment to eligible students. It is not a grant program; students are paid for hours worked.  Every two weeks students are mailed paychecks by the Business Office for the hours they have worked, as verified by the student’s assigned supervisor.

Federal Work Study wages are subject to the same federal, state and local income taxes as any other earned income. Wages earned under this program must be included as taxable income on the student's federal and state income tax returns. A W-2 form is mailed to each student's permanent home address at the end of each tax year.

Federal Work Study funding is extremely limited; students must complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by May 1^st each year and must indicate on their FAFSA that they are interested in the program.  Awarding decisions will be made by the Financial Aid Office on the basis of available funding.

Each summer the College will update its list of available positions.  Most positions pay minimum wage.
