Federal Work Study (FWS) is not a scholarship or grant, but a chance to earn money for college.

Please note that the University of West Georgia (博彩平台推荐) does not guarantee that any student who qualifies for the Federal Work Study Program will be given a job. Federal Work Study cannot be included toward payment of the upcoming semester bill since it depends on the student securing a position and working the hours during the upcoming semester.

Federal Work Study is a federally funded program that awards up to $3,000 per academic year (Fall/Spring) based on need as determined by the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and available funding.

Federal Work Study is an opportunity to work and earn income while in school. By working, students gain experience, develop new skills, and earn money to meet their educational and living expenses.
