Federal Work-Study is one of the best-kept secrets around! Federal Work-Study is a great job opportunity to help you support yourself while gaining work experience in college.

• Flexible work schedule that is built around your class schedule
• Work on campus or in the community
• Earnings are exempt from Social Security taxes
