FEDERAL COLLEGE WORK-
STUDY PROGRAM (CWS)
Federal and College money fund the College
Work-Study (CWS) Program which is
designed to create part time employment
opportunities for students in need of the
earnings from such employment in order to
begin or continue their programs of study.
Your eligibility for the program will be
determined when you submit your Scholarship
and Assistance Application form and
FAF.
In arranging employment under the
CWS program the College's financial aid
officers will take into consideration your
demonstrated financial need, class
schedule, health and academic progress.
Employment under the college Work-
Study program may be on-campus or offcampus
with a public or private non-profit
agency. At New Hampshire College the
majority of such opportunities are on the
campus. Pay rates range from the minimum
up and are related to the type of work you do
and the proficiency required of you.
During the 1977-78 college year, New
Hampshire College provided CWS employment
to more than 300 students, amounting
to more than $300,000. Earnings ranged
from $200 to more than $2,000; averaged
nearly $900
Basic Grants for the 1978-79 academic year
are expected to range between $50 and
$1600 based on your cost of education and
your eligibility index. You may apply for a
Basic Grant by using the Financial Aid Form
(FAF) being sure to complete item #83. The
form will be available from your guidance
office or from the financial aid office at the
college of your choice.
Students who have recent dramatic
changes in the family financial circumstances
may wish to apply for Basic Grant
consideration by utilizing an Application for
Determination of Basic Grant Eligibility AND
a Supplemental Form; both of which should
be available from the financial aid office at
the Colleges you are considering.
The BEOG Program is considerably
different from the other financial aid
programs operated under the United States
Office of Education in that it has an entitlement
feature which means that all students
who are eligible will be funded. New
Hampshire College acts as a disbursing
agent for this program.
Under the Basic Grant Program
demonstrated financial need is determined
by a formula approved annually by the
Congress of the United States. The formula
is applied to the information submitted on
your application to produce an eligibility
index which is forwarded to you via a
Student Eligibility Report (SER).
