The Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) provides part-time employment while you are enrolled at the college. It is available to full-time and part-time students. Currently, students can earn $8.00 per hour for on-campus positions and $9.00 per hour for off-campus positions. We encourage students to take positions in the community service or work related to your course of study whenever possible.

Work-study eligibility is determined through the FAFSA. To be eligible there must be a demonstrated financial need. Due to the limited number of positions available, we request that the student file a FWSP application. This application is available by using the link on the bottom of the page.

Students interested in applying for the positions must contact the financial aid office first to determine if they have eligibility. If they do have eligibility, then the student will be notified by letter. If your qualifications meet the criteria for a position, then your application is forwarded to that department. The corresponding supervisor will then contact the student for an interview for the position.

If the student is hired, then he/she will need to make an appointment with the work-study coordinator, Joanna Zadvorney, to file the required paperwork. Students cannot begin employment until this paperwork is completed. Please keep in mind that most positions are only available during the school day. Generally, students work an average of 5-10 hours a week and 15 weeks a semester.

These positions offer great work experience that can be applied to jobs you may hold in the future.

If you wish to participate in work-study, download a work-study application online or pick one up in the financial aid office.  Please contact Joanna Zadvorney at (716) 827-2426 if you have any questions.
