Federal Work-Study
Federal Work Study is a form of need-based federal financial aid. A student must complete a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible. The Student must also indicate on the FAFSA that they would like to participate in the
program. Students must have a 2.0 gpa and be in good standing with the student conduct office.
If a student is awarded Federal Work Study, the student must do the following:
1. Apply online via www.lynn.edu/studentjobs
2. Submit a resume, application and profile
3. Complete all hiring forms: University Policies, I-9, Direct Deposit, W-4 and Background check. All can be
completed on line or in the Employee Services Office.

$12.00 per hour for all positions. Off Campus Community Service positions pay $15.00 per hour.
All student employees are paid bi-weekly by direct deposit for hours worked. EARNINGS ARE NOT CREDITED TO

responsibilities for payment of educational costs including the student’s tuition bill, books, supplies and personal
expenses. Funds from a Federal Work-Study award cannot be used as payment for expenses at registration since the
