Federal Work Study Program

Career Services

The purpose of the Federal Work Study Program is to provide primarily undergraduate students part-time employment to meet their financial needs and give them work experience while attending college. Employment under the FWSP must be reasonably available to all eligible students.

Student eligibility is determined from data provided by the FAFSA completed by the student for each academic year. Normally, eligible students who have indicated interest in receiving work study funds on their FAFSA will be awarded such when their academic year financial aid award is posted.

It is the student's responsibility to find an on-campus job in order to utilize their work study award. Most CCSU departments seeking student employees with work study eligible post jobs available with the Financial Aid Office which are then posted on the FA website. This list is updated weekly.

The student's hourly wage is determined at the departmental level with the starting wage equal to the State of Connecticut's minimum wage.
