Federal Work Study is available to students who qualify based on financial need. Stetson University often has openings on campus for these students to work. Students may fill these positions ONLY if they are eligible for Federal Work Study, as Federal funds compensate the student. In order to participate in the program, you must:

1. Complete the FAFSA.
   
   File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as the FAFSA, for the 0708 academic year. Because the program is need-based, this form will determine your eligibility. The quickest way to fill out this form is online at URL: www.fafsa.edu.gov/ . You must resubmit your FAFSA each academic year. Once the initial form is completed, each year you may simply renew the form. Please have the FAFSA completed as soon as possible after January 1 to be reconsidered for financial aid, including work study, for the next academic year.
   
   
   
2. Accept or decline the award if it has been offered to you.
   
   Bannerweb will display all forms of aid, including FWS. If FWS has been offered to you, and you are interested in the program, you must accept. Your award amount for the academic year will be listed. If you have submitted the FAFSA and FWS has not been offered to you, you may contact the Financial Aid Office at 1-800-688-7120, and someone will be more than happy to discuss your eligibility status with you.
