Work study can be for on or off campus. The off-campus jobs are going to typically be for tutoring elementary school kids or for reading initiatives.

Usually the financial aid office coordinates all work study jobs so as to make sure you do not earn over what you have been awarded. Many financial aid offices even have someone who specifically deals with the FWS program, so start there. If your financial aid office does not handle work study jobs in-house, then they should point you to where you should go. Good luck!

I had several different work-study jobs. One of them was the same hours every week. One of them had a schedule, but it varied from week to week. On another one, I had a set goal to accomplish each week & I could work basically whatever hours I wanted as long as I met my goal.
