The Federal Work-Study program is a “need-based” form of financial aid that may be utilized by students to pay for some of their educational expenses by working part-time, on or off campus. With college expenses increasing annually, many students find the Federal Work-Study program a useful option. Many students find it necessary and desirable to work part-time. Many students may find they are better able to manage their time, as a Work-Study position may fit into their schedule of classes, studying and personal commitments.
This financial aid program is funded by the federal government. Under this program, you must apply and qualify for financial aid and meet eligibility requirements every year. If you receive a work-study award, the amount of the award is based on your specific need and results of your FAFSA application.
To apply for Federal Work-Study, a student must apply online (https://www.hvcc.edu/cce/students-alumni/fws.html). The application will be reviewed for eligibility and you will be contacted if you are selected for an interview. Remember, this is a competitive process and neither eligibility nor an interview guarantees a job placement.
If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Melucci, coordinator of job location and development in the Center for Careers and Employment at m.melucci@hvcc.edu or 518-629-7326
