  1. Federal Work-Study Program ET Winzer| June 2018 U.S. Department of Education FEMA 20th Annual Emergency Management Higher Education Symposium

  2. Federal Work-Study • To help pay college costs, many students work to reduce their need to borrow loans. • The Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program provides financial aid through student employment. • Some schools administer FWS through the Financial Aid Office (FAO); others may have a student employment office that maintains information on jobs available.

  3. Federal Work-Study • The FAO is typically the primary campus point of contact and determines which students have financial need to receive FWS. • In most cases, a school must contribute matching funds (nonfederal share) in the FWS Program.   • The nonfederal share can come from its own funds or other nonfederal sources such as outside funds from an off-campus employer.

  4. Federal Work-Study • In general, the federal share of FWS wages paid to a student may not exceed 75%.  • Schools must provide at least 25% of a student’s total FWS wages from nonfederal sources.  • There are situations when the ratio of federal share to nonfederal share of 75% to 25% does not apply. 

  5. Federal Work-Study • For off-campus FWS jobs with private, for-profit organizations, the federal share of wages paid to students is limited to 50%. The for-profit organization/employer must provide a nonfederal share of at least 50%, but may contribute more. • A school may use no more than 25% of its total current year initial and supple­mental allocations to pay wages to students employed with private, for-profit organizations.

  6. Federal Work-Study • A school may award FWS for a period of nonattendance, such as during the summer, a vacation period, or, a full-time work period (in the case of certain cooperative-education students).  • To be eligible, a student must be planning to attend the school during the next period of enrollment.

  7. Federal Work-Study • Regulations do not set a minimum or maximum award in the FWS Program. • FWS jobs must pay at least the federal minimum wage unless the state minimum is higher. • If the institution places students in FWS positions, when considering a job match for a student, the school should match the student with a job that is closely related to the student’s course of study, if at all possible.

  8. Federal Work-Study • Each school that participates in the FWS program is required to expend at least 7% of its total FWS federal authorization to compensate students employed in community service activities. • Private, for-profit organizations do not qualify as community-service employers.
