Students are awarded  Federal Work Study based on their unmet need, which is determine by the FAFSA application. Students participating in the program are paid bi-weekly and the starting salary is $6.50 to $8.50 an hour. However, the starting salary for students who participate off campus in the America Read program is $8.50 an hour. FWS students are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week on campus or off campus.

Students will work in local elementary schools as reading and math tutors as well as in middle and high schools. Due to the importance of obtaining only top-notch reliable students, a recommendation letter from a professor within the student's program of study is required.
