Federal work study is the answer to finance your college education<\/span><\/p>\n

By Larry L. Harris<\/p>\n

Times Staff<\/p>\n

Federal Work Study is a financial aid grant to San Jose City College used to employ students at various on-campus jobs. The financial aid office of SJCC administers these funds and at any one time there are ninety to one hundred SJCC students employed through this financial aid program.<\/p>\n

The minimum wage is currently $10.30 per hour. To qualify students must be enrolled in a minimum of six units and carry a minimum 2.0 GPA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SJCC student Alva Long Age 52 Major Psychology has been involved in the FWS program for four year and has combined this program with his Board of Governors fee waiver to fund his educational cost. He said, \u201cThe FWS program is great and it also allows me to give back to the community and my fellow students as a tutor.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Financial Aid Specialist Xiomara Martinez said she along with several of her work mates entered into full time employment with SJCC through the FWS program.<\/p>\n
