About Student Employment
At the University of South Florida, approximately 17% of the on-campus jobs are funded by Federal Work Study (FWS). FWS is awarded to eligible students who meet the March 1st priority deadline when completing their Free Application for Federal Financial Aid (FAFSA) application. The University Scholarships & Financial Aid Services Office (USFAS) determines student eligibility and makes student awards. More students are awarded than there are available jobs on campus; therefore, the process is competitive. On average, there are seven applicants for every FWS job opening.
