At Cheyney University, the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program serves as a vital tool for undergraduate students seeking to enhance their career development while managing the financial demands of their education. Cheyney University has redesigned the FWS program on our campus to ensure that the University prioritizes support for students who qualify by offering professional experience and career readiness to students who work on campus. This redesign also aligns with shifts in Title IV Aid. The FWS program offers students the unique opportunity to gain valuable work experience related to their field of study, develop vital competencies and build professional connections that can significantly impact their future careers. By participating in work-study positions, Cheyney students not only alleviate their educational expenses but also build a robust resume, engage in meaningful work environments, develop a deeper understanding of their chosen career paths, and prepare for future job searches all while contributing to their academic and professional growth.
