Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study Program at 蜜桃情人
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) increases students' opportunities to earn money by working part-time during the school year (5-10 hours per week).
FWS program allows eligible students to earn paychecks to help support their educational expenses by getting part-time jobs with 蜜桃情人 departments. This program helps create additional job opportunities for FWS students by providing federal funding that is used to pay their wages.
FWS funds are limited and require financial need from FAFSA. If your financial aid award notification includes a FWS award, then you are eligible to pursue FWS jobs. Your total earnings cannot exceed your FWS award amount, and your actual earnings will depend on your hours worked and your hourly wage.
The hourly rate for on-campus employment will be at least the current Maryland minimum wage ($15.00).
Eligibility Requirements for Federal Work-Study
The university receives an annual budget of FWS funds from the federal government and offers the available funds to students who demonstrate higher levels of financial need. 蜜桃情人 without FWS awards may still pursue many other part-time job opportunities both on and off-campus.

Why choose Federal Work–Study?

- Student–Friendly Schedule: Your employer knows your first priority is as a college student. Employers try to be as flexible as possible in scheduling work hours around your class schedule.
- Future Financial Aid Eligibility: As a financial aid need-based program, Work–Study income (although taxable) does not affect your future financial aid eligibility in the next tax year.
- Work Experience: 蜜桃情人 who have job experience and who have worked while attending school are more attractive to future employers. Your supervisor may become an excellent reference.
- Academic Success: Campus research has shown that Work–Study students connect with the campus community, learn about resources available to students, and establish stronger relationships with faculty and staff. This correlates with the fact that students with Work–Study jobs are more likely to stay in school, perform better academically, and graduate.
If you decide not to use your Work–Study award, there is no effect on your grant aid. If you have not been awarded your maximum loan amount, you could qualify for more loan money.
