Federal Work Study can save your department money

The Federal Work Study program allows for your department to hire a student worker - and not pay the full cost of wages! Your office will pay up to 50 percent of the wages while the Financial Aid Office covers the remaining amount. Any student position can be a FWS position. This is a great opportunity to save your department money while supporting UAF students through employment and training.
