The Federal Work-Study Program is a federally funded need-based employment program available to eligible undergraduate students. In order to be awarded work-study, you must file the FAFSA and demonstrate financial need eligibility based on federal guidelines. The award amount is an earning opportunity. Funds do not pay directly to your student account, instead your earnings are received by paycheck/direct deposit every two weeks. To see if you qualify for the federal work study program please contact the TCU Financial Aid Office at finaid@tcu.edu or 817-257-7858.
