Federal Work Study
The Federal Work Study (FWS) program allows degree-seeking students with financial need the opportunity to work part time in order to earn money for educational expenses. Financial aid applicants who receive FWS awards may be employed by departments on the College of Charleston campus or by various off-campus sites. Federal Work Study students may not be employed as non-work study students during the same employment period. Refer to the Career Center for additional information about student employment.

To receive FWS, a degree-seeking student should complete the FAFSA before the College of Charleston's priority deadline of March 1st, and complete any other federal requirements, like verification, in a timely manner. For students that are not awarded FWS, the Office of Financial Aid maintains a waiting list that is used to award students as money becomes available. Students that wish to be included on the waiting list should contact Financial Aid. A student that has been awarded FWS should complete a FWS Packet Request from the Career Center at the start of the school year. Students that do not pick up a packet are at risk of losing their award.
