Student Employment Programs
College Work Study Program (CWSP)
The College Work Study Program (CWSP) is administered by the Department of Education and provides part-time employment for undergraduate, graduate and professional students who desire to continue their education but are in financial need. CWSP students may perform a variety of duties depending upon their qualifications. Applicants interested in being considered for the CWSP should contact the Financial Aid Office at their college or university. The Financial Aid Office will help determine student eligibility, negotiating a contract with this office, and referring qualified students when a vacancy occurs. CWSP students may work up to 19 hours per week during the school year and up to 40 hours per week during summer and spring breaks. CWSP students are not considered federal government employees.
