SSM 306–01: Federal Work-Study Employment Program

Purpose

To use Federal Work-Study funding to enhance the university’s student employment program

Sources

34 Code of Federal Regulations § 675

Financial Aid and Scholarship Services/Student Employment

Background

The Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) provides an annual allocation to the university through the United States Department of Education. This federal allocation, combined with matching funds from the university or another employing agency, provides eligible students with added employment opportunities. The FWSP is only available until all funds have been spent.

Policy

The FWSP assists the university in achieving its student employment objectives and student financial assistance goals. Consequently, ASU participates in and complies with the guidelines of this program.

ASU also requires that recipients of FWSP awards and the departments or units that employ them through the program support the program’s objectives and comply with its guidelines.

Objectives

The objectives of the FWSP are to expand:

1. employment opportunities that provide students with financial assistance, valuable work experience, and educational development

   and

2. the potential university and community work force available to provide essential services that might otherwise suffer due to lack of staff or funds.

The FWSP includes on- and off-campus jobs, America Reads, America Counts, and community service employment opportunities.

Procedures

For FWSP hiring procedures, see SSM 304–01, “Student Employment Program.”
