Is Student Employment or Student Share the same as Federal Work Study?

No. A student’s eligibility for the Federal Work Study (FWS) program does not affect the size of the Student Share or a student’s ability to work on campus. Participation in the FWS program simply means that the federal government subsidizes part of a student’s wage; however, FWS eligibility does not affect how much a student is paid or a student’s ability to be hired for most campus jobs.
