• Must have financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
• Must have unmet need based on the difference between Cost of Attendance (COA) and Student Aid Index (SAI).
  • The initial offered amount can be up to $3000 for the academic year. Students may request additional funding for the term, depending on unmet need and fund availability.

  • FWS is a job for which students will be paid bi-weekly, based on the number of hours worked.
