Federal Work Study

You might qualify for the Federal Work Study (FWS) program based upon your FAFSA results. You鈥檒l be authorized to work and earn an amount calculated for you. Manchester has very few campus jobs that require FWS status, meaning that we have few barriers to campus employment. When utilized, FWS also protects earned income from negatively impacting future financial aid. See .
