Overview.
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a federally funded program that enables students to earn money for college costs through part-time, academic or career-oriented employment while providing essential services to the college and the community. The Federal Work-Study program allows students with financial need to help meet their educational expenses without incurring a lot of debt and is intended to provide worthwhile job opportunities for qualified students. In addition, a student's income earned from your Work-Study job will not be included in calculating your student contribution which may improve the amount and types of aid you are considered for when filing a financial aid application in future periods.
Getting FWS at EVC.
There is a limited number of work study positions available at our school. We have a lot of interested students, but not enough funding to allow every student to participate in the program. The be invited to the FWS Orientation you must meet the following criteria:

FWS Orientation.
Students interested in FWS must attend a FWS Orientation. We host orientations at the start of the fall semester. Attending an orientation doesn’t guarantee employment, but it is required to apply for on campus employment through FWS. The financial aid office will confirm attendance before awarding any student FWS.
