Application for Federal Work-Study Employment

Financial Aid > Federal Work Study > Application for Federal Work-Study Employment

Please only complete the form below if you have already completed the Request for FWS Eligibility Determination and have received confirmation that you are eligible.

FWS is a need-based program and part of the financial aid package. You must complete the FAFSA each year to determine if you are eligible.
Completion of the Employment Application does not guarantee eligibility or placement in a FWS position.
In assigning a FWS job, several factors are considered. These factors include a student’s financial need, the number of hours per week the student can work, the amount of other assistance available to the student, and the total work-study funds available.
Applications are matched with department requests and students are assigned to areas that correspond with their interests and abilities. The work-study program is flexible — it allows students to work both off and on-campus, around class and study times.
The number of work hours assigned is approximately 15 hours per week, while classes are in session.
Employees currently working for VWCC in another capacity may not exceed 40 hours in any week between the two positions.
You must be enrolled for at least six credit hours while you are employed as a work-study student at VWCC.

Note: You will need the job posting title and the supervisor email for the posting you are applying for.
