Federal Work Study Students
from UC can work for non-profit organizations in a
variety of capacities. Nonprofits set the salary and pay
only 25%. The FWS
program pays the balance. The Federal Work Study program... - provides undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work part-time to help pay for the cost of their education.
- is available for students that have financial need
- supports nonprofit organizations by mandating that a minimum of 7% of the total allocation be spent on job opportunities in the nonprofit sector
The
federally-supported COMMUNITY WORK STUDY PROGRAM at UC is administered by the Financial Aid Office in
partnership with the Center for Community Engagement, and allows students to
undertake public service work in the community. The goal of this program is to
provide students with a meaningful service and learning experience relevant to
their interests while supporting and enhancing the work of non-profit
organizations. This program is available during the academic year as well as
during the summer.
