Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  I have a student worker who says he/she will qualify for work-study 
      or that he/she is on a waiting list.  Can I hire the student as 
      work-study?

A.  Students may not be paid under the federal work-study program 
      until they received approval from the Financial Aid Office and the 
      eligible Work-Study Student Employees must have a Work Permit 
      for employment under the Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP).
 
 

Q.  The hours awarded to the student is not enough, can the 
      work-study student work beyond the allocations if I need him/her?

A.  Federal work-study funds cannot be used to pay the student while 
      he/she was not considered fully eligible to use work-study funds. 
      The department will assume full fiscal responsibilities if the student 
       exceeds the student’s federal work-study allocation.
 
 
Q.  Can a Work-Study Student Worker work during the break?

A.  You must contact the Financial Aid Director for approval.
