Federal Work Study Partners

Generally, if students are enrolled in the spring semester and eligible for Federal Work Study funds, they can work until June 30th. No Work Study funding is available to partners during July until the start of the fall academic term. If a student is enrolled in fall semester courses, they are eligible to begin their work study position when the fall term begins.

Students can generally work up to 20 hours per week, with exceptions for some school breaks and the summer.

No. A student's Federal Work Study allocation is determined by the information they provided on their FAFSA, so work Study funding can vary by student.

Your organization will receive an invoice from Madison College near the conclusion of the fiscal year, which ends on June 30^th.

There are two options:

1. Students can continue working with their salary coming from the employer’s budget instead of Work Study.
2. Employers can look to hire other students with remaining Federal Work Study funds.

Madison College utilizes Handshake to help students find jobs. We encourage you to post your jobs on Handshake for students to view and apply for.
