Work Study for Law Students
The college work-study program is a federal and state funded employment program designed for students who have demonstrated financial need. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required and the award is processed through the Law School Office of Student Financial Aid. Work-study funds are very limited, and not all eligible applicants receive an award.
In addition to on-campus employment at the WSU Law School Clinics, Law students have opportunities to work in a variety of off-campus settings that have established College Work-study agreements with WSU.
If you are interested in work-study employment, contact the Law School Financial Aid Office. You should also carefully read the Student Guide to On-Campus Employment, which explains the hiring process and the terms and conditions of employment.
There is no federal financial aid regulation prohibition against awarding work-study to first-year law students. However, the Law School complies with ABA standards, which prohibit full-time first-year students from working. For that reason, the Law School Financial Aid Office does not offer work-study to first-year students for the fall or winter semesters.
