Federal Work Study Program Information
The Higher Education Act requires that all higher education institutions participating in the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program allocate at least seven percent of their annual funding to student jobs that provide community service. Because the purposes of the Corporation’s programs are complemented by those of the U.S. Department of Education, this page of the website provides data on federal work study community service participation drawn from annual reports to the U.S. Department of Education for academic year 2006-2007.
