Since your pay is being funded from the FWS grant, the hiring department must terminate your FWS/SSE job when you’ve earned the amount of your FWS award or they have spent all of their FWS funds, whichever comes first. For this reason, it is best for you to speak with your supervisor about making sure your hours and wages are divided evenly across the entire time you plan to spend on the job (Fall and Spring semesters). In rare cases, a department may continue your employment by paying you from their budget (versus from the FWS grant).
