Facts about the Federal Work Study Program at SGC

The maximum number of hours you may work per week will depend on the amount of your award, but will usually not exceed 15. The rate of pay for all work study jobs (on and off-campus) is the current minimum wage rate. The pay schedule is every two weeks (usually on a Friday). Contact Ms. Cinnimin Durham for more information.

Federal Work Study Program

The Federal Work Study (FWS) Program encourages the part-time employment of students who need the income to help pay for the cost of their education, and encourages FWS recipients to participate in community service activities.  To qualify, a student must have financial need; that is, his or her cost of attendance (COA) must be greater than his or her Expected Family Contribution (EFC). 

If you are interested in the FWS Program, and you have already completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the appropriate aid year, your next step should be to submit a SGC Federal Work Study Application to the OFA.

If you are given a FWS award, you will need to meet with an OFA staff member during the second week of class to complete an orientation. You will also need to complete additional paperwork, including payroll documents, before you can begin your work assignment. 

 Job Descriptions

Job Descriptions for current off-campus positions are also available and will be provided during the orientation.

AmeriCorps National Service Program

The AmeriCorps program provides full-time educational awards in return for work in community service.  Students can work before, during, or after their postsecondary education, and they can use the funds either to pay current educational expenses or to repay federal student loans. 

Visit the AmeriCorps web site for more information.
