Federal Work-Study Program

FWS Program Information

This federal program is administered through Holy Family’s Financial Aid Office. Full-time (at least 12 credits) students in a first undergraduate degree program are eligible.  Students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens. The amounts awarded are based on a student’s need (based on FAFSA information) and the school's annual funding. Students awarded FWS seek one of the many part-time FWS jobs that are available on campus. Positions are not guaranteed since availability depends on student schedules, skills, departmental needs, federal funding, and student initiative.

Additional employment forms are required to be completed before beginning work. Time sheets are submitted for hours worked and bi-weekly paychecks are issued directly to students rather than to student billing accounts. Work-study earnings are intended to help assist with the cost of living expenses, books, and supplies.
