Work-study is funded by the federal government, which dispenses money to colleges and universities throughout the United States. The colleges then use the money to hire students for part-time work in various capacities.
In order to be considered for work-study, you have to begin by filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This is the form mentioned in an earlier blog that every potential college student should submit for consideration for financial aid. On the form, there is a box to check to indicate that you are interested in work-study.
In addition to checking the box on the FAFSA, you must apply to the college you are attending in order to participate in the program. There are limited funds available, so jobs are meted out on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore, it pays to fill out the FAFSA and apply for employment as quickly as possible.
