Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based employment program administered by the University. Priority is given to full-time students who fill out the FAFSA on time.
- Students must submit a FAFSA and demonstrate financial need to qualify for federal work-study. Federal work-study is awarded based on the information provided on a student’s FAFSA. Because federal work-study is a need-based award, not every student qualifies. Students must also complete all outstanding requirements with the Financial Aid Office before they can receive federal work-study. Because the university receives a limited amount of federal work-study funds each year, students who submit their paperwork late will be put on our work-study waitlist. This is done in an effort to ensure that we do not overspend our work-study funds or spent our allocation too quickly.
- Any additional questions can be directed to Tom Pinkl at pinklt1@lasalle.edu
- All FWS students are responsible for requesting their FWS contracts by emailing finserv@lasalle.edu.
- Once the student has received these documents they should then send it to the supervisor for completion.
- If you receive a raise in pay greater than minimum wage, it could affect how many hours or how long you can work. If you receive a raise but continues to work the same number of hours per week, it could exhaust your work-study funds quicker. Reach out to your supervisors to discuss how a raise could affect your hours.
- All requests for pay greater than the $7.25 minimum wage requires the signature of the Vice President of the division in which you are employed.
- Please note: This is not required for Graduate Assistant positions.
- The deadline for a student to submit their FASFA to secure their financial aid for the upcoming school year is due June 30, 2021. Students should follow-up with the Financial Aid office after submitting this request or if you need any assistance.
