What is work-study at Wheaton?
Work-study is the student employment program at Wheaton. It is an opportunity for students to work to help defray college expenses and to gain valuable work experience and skills. There are two work-study programs: Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Wheaton Work (WW).

Students who do not qualify for need-based financial assistance may seek employment through the WW program. WW awards are given after a student secures employment at a department with available funds. Please note that departmental WW funding is limited. The college cannot guarantee available on-campus jobs for all students.

Is it possible to have more than one job on campus during the academic year?
Student’s may have more than one job on campus, but are not eligible to work on campus once they have earned their full work allotments.

What happens if my work-study funds run out before the end of the academic year?
You are responsible for managing your work awards appropriately. If your work-study funds run out, you must stop working on campus. You may request an appointment at SFS to see if you are eligible for an increase in your work award.
