Federal Work Study is an employment program that enables students to work part-time while attending school and gives students valuable work experience while earning their degree. The program pays at least minimum wage for the hours worked. Students who are eligible for work study are often highly desired for student employment positions because the federal government supplements the wages that are paid by the university. Work study is available to undergraduate and graduate students.
Due to FERPA, The Office of Financial Aid is unable to release a list of eligible students. We are able to confirm eligibility when requested with a student’s name and WSU ID Number.
Federal Work Study eligibility can fluctuate throughout the academic year. Eligibility is determined by several factors and includes a student’s financial aid package, credit hour enrollment, scholarships, and outside funding. A student’s eligibility may change as the Office of Financial Aid is notified of new funding for your student.
