Work Study funds are awarded over an academic year. Any unused funds in the Fall will rollover to the Spring. Federal Work Study funds do not roll over to the next academic year and may not be earned in the Summer.
Students who have not been awarded FWS are not forbidden from applying to Work Study positions, but they are encouraged to focus their job search on non-work study positions.
Work Study earnings do not automatically go towards a student's tuition and fees. All FWS earnings are directly deposited into a banking account of the student's choosing, with the student then able to spend their earnings the best way they see fit.

Students paid a stipend may not start working until they've received an email notification from EBS. Students MUST wait for this notification before the can start working. This will let you know that you have been hired by the department.
The Student Employment team is committed to helping students navigate the student employment process. Please feel free to email sehr@tulane.edu if you are having difficulty finding employment.
