联邦工作研究

The 联邦工作研究 (FWS) Program is a subsidized student employment program. Note: While the name of the program may be deceiving, employees are expected to work (not study) while earning pay.

• Demonstrate financial need as determined by filing the Free Application for Federal Student 援助 (FAFSA).
• Be fully admitted as a degree-seeking student in an undergraduate program at ISU.
• Be 登记 至少6个学分.

常见问题

• 勤工俭学工作的优点是什么?
  Although a FWS job should be treated as any other job, it does have several distinct advantages:
  • 学生 typically have the benefit of working in environments suited to their skills, 首选项, 和 possible career goals in order to build a solid employment history.
  • 学生 和 工作 Study employers arrange a work schedule around the class schedule.
  • 工作 Study wages are not counted towards next year's Expected Family Contribution on the FAFSA.

  Although the majority of FWS positions are located on campus, the program also offers a number of off-campus positions.

• 我怎样才能找到工作?
  学生 must apply, interview, 和 be hired for jobs. 获得FWS资格并不能保证获得工作. 雇用由主管决定.
  • 查找勤工俭学工作，请访问 学生就业 网站或去求职中心231 N. 第六步道(喷泉东面).
  • Visit the 职业中心 Jobs Fair, held during Welcome Week at the beginning of the fall semester.

  学生 should provide the following to their employer:

  • A copy of their 金融援助 Notification letter showing FWS eligibility (can be printed from the MyISU Portal)
  • A copy of current 和/or upcoming semester class schedule

  When students accept FWS positions, they are making a commitment as an employee to that employer. 学生 are expected to stay for the length of the 工作 Study employment period (usually two semesters), 和 are discouraged from changing jobs in the middle of the academic year.

• 我怎样才能拿到勤工俭学的钱?
  勤工俭学学生每两周发一次工资. 迟到的考勤表可能会耽误学生的薪水.
• 我有资格享受福利吗?
  No. 工作 Study students are not eligible for paid vacation, 病假, 假期, or medical 和 dental insurance through their 工作 Study job.

• 当我达到FWS最大值时会发生什么?
  The department may either continue the assignment (therefore paying 100% from the departmental budget) or terminate the assignment.

• Can my fall/spring 工作 Study alotment be used in the summer?

权利与责任

By accepting a FWS position, students become members of a department or agency that depends on them. 学生们应该按时报到, notify the supervisor when they will be late or absent, 和 dress appropriately for the work location (dress code should be discussed during the interview). When asking for time off, students should consider the employer's needs as well as their own. In addition, some FWS positions may require access to confidential information. Abuse or misuse of such authorization is grounds for dismissal 和 other disciplinary actions.

If a problem develops on the job, the first point of contact should be the supervisor. If the problem cannot be resolved, the student should contact the 学生就业办公室. Quitting a FWS job should be a decision of last resort. There is no guarantee that the 工作 Study alotment can be replaced with another type of aid or that the student can secure another FWS position. Failure to follow expected policies 和 regulations may result in the cancellation of their 工作 Study offer 和 the loss of their 工作 Study position. Acceptance of a position through 工作 Study implies a commitment to the employer for at least one semester or the time agreed upon during the interview process.
