Federal Work-Study Application

2009-2010

Thank you for your interest in the Federal work-study program. This federally funded program provides part-time jobs for students who are eligible for financial aid and need money to help pay educational expenses.

Please be aware that you are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered for this program.

Federal Work-Study students are paid at the end of each month at a rate of $7.25 per hour. Eligible students are required to complete tax paperwork and submit a photocopy of their driver’s license and social security card. A criminal background check will be done prior to beginning employment.

Students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week or 80 hours in a pay period. Before you apply, please consider your activities (class, labs, family, other jobs, sports, church, etc) and decide if you can commit the time to a job.

To apply for FWS employment, a student is required to complete the attached application. Please read this application carefully before answering the questions. Completing this application does not guarantee you will qualify for a job. You will receive a letter stating if you are eligible or ineligible. If you are hired as a Federal Work-Study student employee, failure to complete job duties in a professional and timely manner may result in termination.

Georgia Military College does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, religion, national origin or handicap.
