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.

- 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
