Federal work-study

  • Federal Work-Study (FWS) provides part-time jobs for undergraduate, graduate and professional students with financial need, allowing them to earn money.
  • The program encourages community service work and work related to your course of study.
  • We determine award amounts on the basis of financial need from the FAFSA.
  • The maximum FWS award varies each academic year.
  • Limited funding, so not all students qualify; file the FAFSA as soon as possible beginning October 1 for the following academic year.
  • Must be in a degree seeking program
    • See exceptions here
  • Enrolled courses must count toward your degree

Community service work-study

  • Provides the opportunity for you to take an active role in the greater community while earning money.
  • Positions range from reading and tutoring in local elementary schools to working with the developmentally disabled in a sheltered workshop.
  • Must be in a degree seeking program
    • See exceptions here
  • Enrolled courses must count toward your degree

Student employment

  • Federal Work-Study jobs represent a small minority of all the student jobs on campus. If you don't receive a work-study award, there are many employment opportunities on campus and in the city of Stillwater.
