Work Study

Federal Work-Study Program

The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) provides students the opportunity to work in various departments throughout the School of Health Sciences to earn money to help cover educational costs, particularly for those with a demonstrated financial need. Selection and placement for FWS recipients is determined by student's eligibility, institutional funding and job availability. They must maintain a 2.0 GPA (Unless such GPA does not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress in their school or program of study). Students are allowed to work up to a maximum of 25 hours/week during the fall and spring terms and 30 hours/week during the summer term at a rate of $16/hour for undergraduate and $16/hour for graduate students. Hours must be documented on a timesheet and submitted to the Financial Aid Administrator during the appropriate pay period. Students receive FWS funds in the form of a bi-weekly paycheck for hours worked.

Students interested in participating in the FWS program can see available positions in the Financial Services Tab of the TouroOne portal.

Federal Work-Study Guidelines & Timesheet Instructions

During the summer session, a student may only work if they are enrolled for the summer or fall.
