Applying for a Federal Work Study Job:

Federal Work Study is a need-based employment program administered by the University. Priority is given to full-time students who submit their FAFSA and Institutional Data Form (IDF) on time.

1. You must be offered Federal Work Study as a part of your financial aid package. You can verify this by looking on your financial aid award letter or viewing your financial aid, through the La Salle portal, within the Br. LUWIS section.
   
   
2. You can view a listing of all Work Study jobs and their descriptions here.
   
   
3. When you find a job in which you are interested, you must contact the person listed as the supervisor in that particular office to apply.
   
   
4. Once you have secured a position, your next step is to come to the Office of Student Financial Services and pick up a Work Study Authorization form.
   
   
5. Your supervisor will complete this form and you will take it to the Office of Human Resources. This Office may require additional information such as a driver's license and social security card for first time student workers.
