Federal Work-Study Programs

Another type of funding available to prospective college students with financial need is the Federal Work-Study program. It provides part-time employment to students that allows them to earn money that they can put toward the cost of their education. So, while it’s not a type of funding per-se, it does provide a means to cover the costs associated with course tuition.

For recently released former-inmates seeking an education, the FWS program can be a valuable way to secure funding while simultaneously gaining work experience that boosts the chance of finding work after graduation.
