Obtaining a Work Study Job

Students are limited to 20 hours per week and 40 hours per pay period. FWS cannot pay for any hours worked beyond these approved limits. Additionally, you may only earn up to your posted FWS award for the term.

Please note: FWS funds are not available to pay a student's tuition, fees, housing or meal membership charges directly. Federal Work Study students are paid according to the ESU bi-weekly payroll schedule based on the hours worked during the pay period.
