Employment

Federal College Work-Study Program (FWSP): The FWSP provides employment opportunities for college students who are in need of earnings from part-time employment in order to pursue a course of study. This program enables students to earn money during the academic year and/or Summer to help defray expenses. The Office is responsible for determining the eligibility of all students who apply for work under this program. Job placement, hours of work, and rates of pay are also handled by the Office. Several FWSP positions involve community service in health care delivery and in reading tutoring for primary school children. The FWSP program at the Health Sciences Center has been dormant from 2005-2006 to the present, but it may be reactivated.
