Work-study is a job you still have to get. See where your school posts work-study jobs, what they pay and the rules, in the school’s own words.
Check your aid offer for Federal Work-Study
Work-study shows up in your financial aid offer. Some colleges ask you to send a work-study interest form instead. Your school’s card below says which.
Accept it if your school asks you to
Some schools ask you to accept or activate work-study in your student portal. NAU, for example, says to accept or decline by September 30.
Apply for work-study jobs on your school’s job portal
Work-study isn’t a check. You apply, interview and get hired like any job, and you’re paid only for hours you work.

Work-study pay doesn’t count against you when your need is figured on the FAFSA.
“Federal Work-Study income doesn’t count in the assessment of the student’s financial need when they submit a FAFSA® form.”2026-27 Counselors and Mentors Handbook on Federal Student Aid, Student Finances (p. 38)
You don’t type work-study on the FAFSA yourself. Your school reports your work-study earnings to the Department of Education, which puts them on your FAFSA.
“Student’s Federal Work-Study (FWS). Schools annually report FWS earnings by individual earners to the Department. ED will then use this information to report FWS on the individual earner’s FAFSA form.”2026-27 FSA Handbook Application and Verification Guide Ch 3
Arizona’s minimum wage is $15.15 an hour, effective January 1, 2026.
Federal rules say work-study must pay at least the federal minimum wage, or a higher state minimum. Arizona’s is higher.

What it is
Part-time jobs for students with financial need. Schools that take part run the program.
Who can get it
Full-time or part-time students who meet the general federal aid rules and have financial need.
Funds are limited
How much you get depends on when you apply, your need and your school’s funding. Apply for aid early.
Pay
At least the federal minimum wage. If state or local law sets a higher minimum, you get the higher wage.
How much you can earn
You can’t earn more than your work-study award. Federal rules set no weekly hour limit; your school and job set hours around your classes.
How often you’re paid
You earn it as you work, and you must be paid at least once a month.
On or off campus
Jobs can be at your school or off campus. Off-campus jobs with public agencies or nonprofits must serve the public interest.
Community service jobs
Schools must spend part of their work-study money on community service jobs, such as reading tutors for children.
Your next FAFSA
Work-study pay doesn’t count against you when your need is figured on the FAFSA.
