The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) is a federal program designed to expand part-time employment opportunities for students, particularly those from low-income families who are in need of earnings in order to pursue a course of study. The awards are made to eligible students who have demonstrated need and who meet all eligibility criteria per Williamsburg Technical College policy. Work study positions are limited, but every effort is made to find suitable FWS employment for as many eligible students as possible.
