The Federal Work-Study Program enables students to earn money by working part-time on or off campus for a qualified employer. The amount awarded in FWS is the maximum amount that students may earn in a given academic year. Students may be paid on a weekly or semimonthly basis. A variety of jobs are offered. Generally, students are expected to seek their own employment opportunities. Positions may be offered through their academic departments. A computer listing of positions is located on the Web at http://www.jhu.edu/~stujob/, and at the Student Employment Services Office. Funds that are earned through this program are used primarily to defray out-of-pocket costs, such as books, travel, and personal expenses. Earnings are not applied as a direct credit to a student's tuition. Federal Work-Study is available only to full-time students.

Non work-study jobs may also be available on campus. Contact the Student Employment Services Office or your department.
