Work-Study Information

What is Federal Work-Study?
- A Federal Work-Study (FWS) award on your Financial Aid Offer letter is an offer to get a part-time job through the Work-Study program. An average award of $1728 would allow a student to work 14 hours per week at a rate of $7.50 for the semester.
- Work-Study is different from other types of financial aid because you do not receive Work-Study monies until you locate a job and begin working.
- An ideal work-study position would be using the skills you are learning in your program at MATC.
