Types of Aid: Work Study
Federal Work-Study is a need-based program that must be applied for by completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you did not see an offer for Federal Work-Study on your award notification then either you were not eligible, or funds were not available at the time that you were awarded. Please review all the links below for information on Federal Work Study at FSU. Work Authorization/Payroll papers must be completed before you start work. The Work Authorization will be available through your financial aid toolkit.
Application Procedures:
For Fall 2008/Spring 2009 work study - complete the 2008/2009 FAFSA / Renewal FAFSA - Applications must be submitted between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Apply as soon as possible after January 1, 2008, as funds for work-study are very limited.
