Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP)

The Work-Study Program provides need-based campus employment opportunities for eligible students.

What are the benefits?

• FWSP students are exempt from FICA taxes.
• You can work up to 20 hours a week while college is in session and as many as 30 hours per week when not in session.
• Most employment is on campus and pays $8.00 per hour.
• Work schedules are flexible around class schedules

How do I apply?

• Complete a FAFSA Application (with SCC's school code: 017027).
• Complete a FWSP application at stchas.edu/studentjobs.
• Once you are hired, tax forms (including a W-4) will need to be completed in the Human Resources Department.

The total work-study award a student is eligible to receive will be calculated by the Enrollment Services Department based on the information reported on the Student Aid Report (SAR) and other funds awarded for a given semester.
