The Kansas Career Work-Study Program is a state-funded
program intended to provide employers incentive to hire FHSU
students in career-related positions. Because of the nature
of this program, most of the Kansas Career Work-Study jobs are
located off campus (in Hays or surrounding communities). While
it is not a “need-based” program, there are limits
as to what you may earn. If you are a financial aid recipient,
the amount of aid that you are receiving is subtracted from
the cost of attendance to determine your earnings limit. However,
contract earnings limits are established by the institution.
If you do not receive financial assistance, the cost of attendance
at FHSU is your earnings limit. FHSU reimburses the employer
for a portion of your wages.

for the Kansas Career Work-Study Program?

Program you must be a resident of the state of Kansas, be enrolled
