What is the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program?
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a form of financial aid awarded to students who demonstrate financial need and meet certain eligibility requirements. You must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (and possibly other financial aid documents required by your school) to determine your eligibility for FWS. UMUC may offer you aid from the Federal Work-Study Program if you are an undergraduate or graduate student. This program gives you the opportunity to earn money by working part-time during the school year and possibly full-time during the summer months and school breaks. It is an excellent way to earn money to meet educational expenses while gaining valuable work experience.
