The Federal Work-Study
(FWS) Program is a federally-funded Title IV student financial aid program
designed to provide work opportunities for students enrolled in undergraduate
or graduate programs, enabling them to earn funds for meeting educational
expenses. In addition, the program provides an opportunity for students to gain work experience in their areas of academic and non-academic interest. The program has certain eligibility requirements a student must meet in order to participate. (see Information for KSU Students) Departments at KSU may apply for a Federal Work Study student assistant position under certain conditions. (see Information for KSU Offices and Departments) The funding for the program is provided by the Department of Education and the participating educational institution. AMERICA READS Program |

It's important to recognize that Kennesaw State University student employees provide important services throughout our community and are a vital part of the college work force. Whether it is through the exposure to new environments or the enhancement of interpersonal skills through work experience, these part-time jobs serve as excellent resume builders. While not all jobs relate directly to students' ultimate career goals, the basic job skills and work ethics that are learned will contribute enormously to their overall career development and will prepare them for future internships and employment opportunities.
