Work Study Info

FWS and IWS

Federal Work Study
On-campus employment opportunities are available and may be included in a financial aid award package to assist students in meeting their educational or living expenses. Federal Work Study (FWS) is a program funded by the federal government and SCI-Arc to provide part-time employment for students who demonstrate financial need.  Students employed through this program are assisted in finding jobs on campus through the Financial Aid Office.  Most students work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session and earn no less than CA minimum wage $17.87 per hour.  Employment may begin only after the completed work study packet has been approved by the financial aid office and HR. All state and federal equal opportunity employment practices are upheld.
 
Institutional Work Study
International students are not eligible for federal work study but may be eligible for institutional work study with a valid social security number. If you do not have a social security number, you will be required to apply for one. You must provide a receipt from the Social Security Office to the Human Resources Department before you will be allowed to work (NO EXCEPTIONS).
