Federal Work-Study Program at Cleary University

The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program at Cleary University offers students with financial need the opportunity to engage in part-time employment to help cover educational expenses. This program not only provides financial assistance but also allows students to gain valuable work experience.

Eligibility and Application Process

To be considered for the FWS program, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Cleary University encourages all students to apply for financial aid, as nearly 91% of our students receive some form of assistance. After submitting the FAFSA, students can apply online for student employment.

Rules and Regulations

  • Work Hours: Cleary University states that students can work no more than 20 hours per week while classes are in session. During periods of the year where classes are not in session (including summer semester), work-study students may work up to 40 hours per week, subject to approval by their supervisor.
  • Compensation: Students are compensated on an hourly basis and must be paid at least the federal minimum wage. Many students may be paid more depending on experience, position, and/or grade level. Fringe benefits, such as paid sick days or vacation, are not included in FWS compensation.
  • Job Selection: FWS positions at Cleary University are almost entirely on-campus, with a few exceptions. However, off-campus positions will likely be more competitive due to the low number of openings.

How to Apply

  1. Complete the FAFSA: Students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility.
  2. Apply to Student Employee Opening: Navigate to the Cleary Employment site and follow the prompts to apply for a student employee position. [Insert Job Listing Link Here TBD]
  3. Confirm Work-Study Eligibility: After applying, your eligibility for the Federal Work-Study program will be determined, and you will receive further instructions from Financial Aid if selected.

Participating in the Federal Work-Study program at Cleary University is an excellent way to support your education financially while gaining meaningful work experience. For more information or assistance with the application process, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Benefits of Being a Work-Study Student

  • Financial Support: Earnings from FWS positions can assist in covering educational expenses, possibly reducing the need for additional loans.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Work-study employers understand the demands of academic life and often offer flexible work hours that accommodate class and sport schedules.
  • Professional Experience: Students gain practical experience, develop valuable skills, and build professional networks, enhancing their resumes and future career prospects.

Cleary graduates use their business arts education to become the employees, entrepreneurs, and leaders who transform the marketplace…and the world.
