Federal Work Study

 

The Fresno City College (FCC) Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program provides funds earned through part-time employment to help students finance their educational endeavors' costs. After being awarded and hired in a work-study eligible position, students will be paid monthly for the hours they work. Most FWS positions do not require prior experience. Students are awarded FWS based on the financial need established by their FAFSA for the year of attendance, minus all other aid accepted by the student. This is a federal award, therefore students wishing to participate must be eligible to receive federal funds. Because this award is limited, students will be awarded on a “first come, first served” basis.

Benefits:

  • Earn while you learn – because this is an educational award, you will have an opportunity to learn about the workforce with employers that will work around your school and study schedule. 
  • The experience can be added to your resume! 
  • You may have an opportunity to help your community while being paid for your time! 
  • FWS earnings are not considered as income contributions on next year’s FAFSA!

FWS Consideration:

  • Submit your FAFSA as early as possible for FCC 
  • Be sure that you have a completed file with the Financial Aid Office 
  • Enroll in 6+ units for the fall/spring term(s) 
  • Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy standards
