Student Employment Opportunities

 
Federal Work Study (FWS) is a federally funded program administered by Anderson University that enables students to earn money while attending school. Anderson University Work Grant is institutional money awarded to students that may or may not be eligible for FWS. Federal Work Study and Anderson University Work Grant are awarded as part of your financial aid package and give you the opportunity to earn the amount of your Federal Work Study award. To remain eligible for FWS, you must maintain a grade point average of 2.0. To remain eligible for ACWG, you must maintain a 2.5 GPA.

Every student is required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year in order to be awarded financial aid. Eligibility for work-study is determined by your financial need, which is based on the FAFSA.
