Student Forms
To receive interview instructions for any open work study position, bring your completed general application material (section 1) to the Federal Work Study (FWS) Coordinator in Rhodes Hall, Room 143.
Students who do not currently have an FWS award but who are wishing to apply for one should bring this same material (section 1) to the FWS Coordinator to determine their individual eligibility for the program. Keep in mind that approval of such a request is not guaranteed and is decided by the availability of funds and the financial aid eligibility of the individual.
1) Application Cover Sheet
The general application material provides the Work Study coordinator with your basic contact information and most recent employment history. If you wish to list additional work experience, please bring with you a resume. The FWS Agreement must also be completed by each student acknowledging the fundamental guidelines of the program.

Work Study students receive their pay via direct deposit. Pay dates are the 15th and last day of each month. The first paycheck issued after you submit your form will be a paper check you must pick up in the Payroll Office. This provides adequate time for Payroll to verify your account and all checks after your first will be direct deposited.
