Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study (FWS) is financial aid that is based on financial need and must be earned through student employment. Many job opportunities are available to eligible students on- or off-campus, and these experiences can be great sources of professional development. UT’s Office of Financial Aid administers work-study money and assignments.
