Summary: New Federal Work-Study Guide
Author: OPE - Office of the Assistant Secretary for OPE


Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce that our new guide, "Expanding Federal Work-Study and
Community Service Opportunities," is available for you to access on the Office of
Postsecondary Education WWW homepage. The guide discusses basic requirements
and ideas for administering Federal Work-Study (FWS) and community service
programs, as well as reading tutor programs. A resource section at the end includes
descriptions of exemplary programs at 20 postsecondary institutions.
We expect to mail printed copies to campus-based institutions beginning the
week of May 19, 1997. However, you may access the guide now on the Web at the
following address:

We hope you find this guide helpful. We wish to thank all the institutions that have
provided best practices for the guide.

Respectfully submitted,

Elizabeth M. Hicks
Deputy Assistant Secretary
