Federal Work Study Program
The Federal Work Study (FWS) program is designed to stimulate and promote the part-time employment of students who demonstrate financial need in accordance with federal guidelines. The program provides financial assistance to students while broadening their educational experiences. FWS students are employed in many departments on campus as well as agencies and organizations throughout the Augusta area.
The amount of a FWS award depends on the student's financial need and the funding level received by the University. All interested students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other necessary documentation before eligibility can be determined. For more information on completing the financial aid application process, you should contact the ASU Financial Aid Office at 706-737-1431 or visit the Financial Aid Office website. If you have already been awarded Federal Work Study, please search for Federal Work Study Job Opportunities through ASU CareerLink. Instructions on how to apply for the job will be included in the listing. Should a department choose to hire you, you should pick up an employment packet from our office. You and your supervisor can complete this together. Once complete, you should call the Career Center at 706-737-1604 to schedule an appointment to submit the completed packet. You should bring your driver's license (or other picture ID), social security card and a voided check (or direct deposit form from your bank) for your Direct Deposit Authorization Form.
