Benefits of Being a Federal Work Study Student Employee

  • Student employment provides the chance to earn money to help pay for "additional" educational expenses.

  • A part-time job can provide many valuable experiences to add to your resume. Additionally, a supervisor can serve as a reference in the future.
  • Part-time employment enhances education. Student employees learn to see things from another point of view, which helps to develop analytical and critical thinking skills.
