What is the federal work study program?

Federal Work Study

The federal government offers a work study program. This program is applied for and awards are given out based on application time and financial need. Students enrolled in this program will work for federal minimum wage at jobs on and off campus.

There is a limit to the hours worked, as the income can not exceed the award amount. Some states, such as Virginia and Pennsylvania, also have work study programs that residents can apply for.
