Federal Work-Study
Prospective and Current Undergraduate Students
For Entrance in September 2010
 
 
Federal Work-Study
Federal Work-Study (FWS) awards are made by Student Financial Services to eligible students for the academic year. Work-Study "credit" is not applied to your bill. You will receive a weekly paycheck based on the actual hours worked. For detailed information regarding the FWS program, review the Student Employment Handbook at www.sfs.upenn.edu/seo. Direct inquiries to (215) 898-6966 or e-mail seo@sfs.upenn.edu.
 
Penn Work-Study
Penn Work-Study may be awarded in place of Federal Work-Study in cases where the combination of Federal Work-Study, grants and scholarships, and subsidized student loans would otherwise exceed federal need, based on the federal family contribution formula. Penn Work-Study works just like Federal Work-Study, except that the University’s financial aid funds, rather than federal funds, are used to pay part of your earnings. Students with Penn Work-Study have equal access to listed work-study positions.Direct inquiries to (215) 898-6966 or e-mail seo@sfs.upenn.edu.
 
Loan/Work-Study Job Adjustments
Students may request additional loan in lieu of all or part of a work-study job. However, SFS encourages students to work in order to keep borrowing to a minimum.
