Many Loyola students receive a Federal Work Study (FWS) award as part of their financial aid package.  This program allows students to work part-time while earning money for school.  Now FWS-eligible students can work at local nonprofit organizations at a higher rate of pay ($10/hour)! These are called Community Based Federal Work Study (CBFWS) jobs.  Interested students should apply here.

Advantages of CBFWS:

• Cool work: CBFWS employers do everything from tutoring to environmental advocacy.
• Resume builder: Gain valuable professional skills and experience working at a real nonprofit.
• Transportation time is covered: You’re on the clock from the minute you leave campus until the minute you get back.  Plus, most CBFWS employers are close to campus.
• Earn the same $$ in less time:  Most students are awarded $1000 in Federal Work Study funds per semester, though this may vary by financial need.  With CBFWS, you can earn your full award in fewer hours.
