The Federal Work-Study Program offers employment opportunities to students in financial need, enabling them to earn money to cover their education-related costs. The program also emphasizes community service work while providing hands-on training in various employment areas.
Federal Work Study awards included on a Financial Aid Award notice represents the student’s eligibility to earn towards those funds. These funds are earned via bi-weekly paycheck once the student applies for and obtains on-campus student employment. These funds are not deducted from the student’s bill.
At Helene Fuld College of Nursing, students can work on-campus through the Federal Work-Study program. While most students who apply for the program can find employment, they must research job openings and secure a position. If you are interested in applying for an on-campus job, please email VP Ojada at Student.Services@helenefuld.edu
College students employed by their college are paid an hourly wage and must receive at least the current federal minimum wage. The college works with the student to determine a suitable work location and schedule, considering the student’s financial needs, class schedule, and academic progress.
Under the Federal Work-Study program, students receive paychecks twice a month based on their hourly wage rate and the number of hours worked. Students typically work an average of 10-15 hours per week during the school year, while during breaks, they may work up to 40 hours per week. The total amount a student can earn through Federal Work-Study is limited to the amount authorized by their Financial Aid Office.
