What is the Federal College Work Study Program (FCWSP)?

FCWSP is a form of federal aid awarded by the Student Financial Aid Office that allows full-time students to satisfy a portion of their documented financial need through part-time employment at the College while attending school.

Students are paid an hourly wage and may earn up to $2,000 a year. Peirce College also participates in the Federal Work Study Community Service Program, which involves off-campus, part-time employment. Students may work off-campus for non-profit and/or government agencies.

To be eligible for the FCWSP, students must first qualify for financial aid. Once authorized, job opportunities specifically within the College are posted in the Career Development Services and Cooperative Education Office. Students need to provide a resume for consideration for the open positions. All students accepted for FCWSP positions are required to complete a training program on office procedures and etiquette.
