Federal Work Study Program

Federal Work Study (FWS) is a limited, federally funded program that provides part-time employment opportunities for students with financial need. The program encourages community service and gives students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience at a professional level before leaving school. Students are allowed to work up to 15 hours a week during the academic year (fall/spring) and more during the summer (if remaining funds are available). The pay rate starts at minimum wage and paychecks will be provided every two weeks based off of hours worked.

Criteria

  • In order to be eligible for Federal Work Study, students must meet the following criteria:
  • Must demonstrate financial need as determined by the results of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student).
  • Must enroll in a minimum of 6 credit hours at SMCC during the term you plan to work in.
  • Must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as determined by the MCCCD SAP Policy

Student Procedures

  • Visit the SMCC Career Services webpage for a list of student resources and instructions how to apply for Student Employment on campus. Positions are limited and provided on a first come first served basis.
