Federal Work Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) is a part-time employment program for students with demonstrated financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Funding is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis allowing students to earn monies to help pay postsecondary educational expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the student's course of study.
Eligibility Requirements:
The following are requirements for a student to be eligible to work through the Federal Work Study program:
- be a US citizen or permanent resident of the US;
- be enrolled at least half-time in a matriculated program at Stockton;
- be in good academic standing;
- not owe a refund on a federal or state educational grant; and

*Please note that all 2024-2025 Federal Work Study funding has been allocated at this time. Anyone who indicates interest in the program will be placed on a waitlist and will be notified if funding becomes available and is offered to them.
After you have secured an on-campus or off-campus position, you must complete onboarding documentation in this system to be added to Stockton University’s payroll.

If you are awarded FWS funding, your financial aid notification will be updated to show the amount received in your goStockton Portal.

Students are responsible for securing their own employment either on campus or off-campus.

- View employment opportunities using the Office of Career Education & Development’s Handshake platform. Here you may review job description details and candidate qualifications for advertised

and want to be contacted for a formal interview.

***Additional Federal Work Study opportunities will be listed as they are approved. Please check back periodically for updates.***
After You've Secured Employment:
Once you've secured employment, you will notify the Office of Financial Aid of your employment by emailing fws@stockton.edu
All Federal Work Study (FWS) forms are now electronic. Once we receive notification of a student's employment, we will send the student an email with instructions on how to access and complete the process, including the Student Employment Form. After completing all required forms and processes, the student may begin working.
Once you begin working, either you or your supervisor will need to input your hours worked into Web Time Entry (WTE) every two weeks. You will be paid biweekly via direct deposit.
Both the student and employer share the responsibility of monitoring FWS earnings to ensure that the award limit is not exceeded. You may earn up to half of your offer during the fall semester and the remaining award during the spring semester.
Federal Work Study FAQ's:
You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year and have unmet financial need. Unmet financial need is determined by the amount of grants, scholarships, and subsidized loan eligibility you may already receive. Federal Work Study (FWS) eligibility may change if you receive additional financial aid after being offered FWS funds. If this happens, you will receive a revised offer notification in your email and your financial aid offer notification will be updated within your goStockton Portal.
More information on how to indicate interest in the FWS program is coming soon!
Federal Work Study awards are no more than $4,000 for the academic year ($2,000 per semester) if you are a full-time student. Awards for part-time students are pro-rated based on enrollment.
You will be paid on a bi-weekly basis after reporting your hours worked in the university’s Web Time Entry system. Your Federal Work Study supervisor will instruct you on how to access your timesheet to report your hours worked. Then work study earnings will be directly deposited into the U.S. bank account of your choice.
You may only hold one FWS position at any given time.
Yes, Federal Work Study (FWS) students may not work more than 20 hours per week/40 hours per pay period. You and your FWS supervisor are responsible for keeping track of all hours worked. Once you have earned all your FWS funds, your FWS assignment will end.
Any Federal Work Study funds that are unearned by the end of the semester are forfeited. FWS funds do not rollover from one semester to the next.
You may use this payroll tracking worksheet to keep track of how many hours you have worked and how many hours you have remaining for the semester.

as well as
the department/employer for which they work
