Work-Studya United States government initiative that provides part-time employment opportunities for eligible college students to help finance their education
What is the "Federal Work-Study Program"?
The Federal Work-Study Program is a financial aid program offered by the U.S. government that provides part-time jobs for students with financial need. The program allows students to earn money to help pay for their education while gaining work experience. The jobs are typically related to the student’s field of study, but they can also include general campus work or community service positions. The program is designed to help students manage the cost of their education by allowing them to work during the school year, usually on or near campus, without interfering with their academic responsibilities.
