What is Federal Work Study?

Federal Work-Study (FWS) provides part-time on campus jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. Each student is eligible to work 10 hours per week and earn $9 per hour ($10 per hour for community service related jobs).

FWS does not pay directly into the student's UNC Asheville accounts. Instead, students are paid monthly through payroll which direct deposited into the student's personal checking/savings account.
