What are the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program and the College Funded Programs?
• The funding source is the major difference between the two programs. • Students must work on campus to receive their work award. • Students’ earnings are limited to the amount of their work award. • Earnings are not applied directly to the tuition bill, but paid to the student through direct deposit into a savings or checking account. • Students can use earnings as they choose on such things as books, personal items, and transportation.
