Work Programs

Federal Work-Study Program

Many student work assignments on the campus fall within the scope of the Federal Work-Study Program (FWS). Students average 10 hours per week during the academic year and from 15-40 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment. The pay rate is minimum wage for most positions on campus. A student is eligible for a FWS position if there is sufficient financial need and Work-Study is listed as one of the types of financial aid the student has been awarded. Please note that the award amount listed by financial aid is an estimate of earnings and not a guarantee. All students must find a job on campus and their earnings will be tied to hours worked and wage of position held. All student employees must complete the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s I-9 Form and must be issued a Work Authorization.

Indiana Wesleyan University Employment

A limited number of campus jobs are assigned to students who do not qualify for the Federal Work-Study Program. In such cases, the institution pays all of the student’s wages, and the earnings are paid directly to the student with the intent of paying the student’s account. Pay rates are also at minimum wage.
