    About The Program

    The Federal Work-Study program was authorized and funded by the United States congress in 1965 for students with documented need for help with college expenses. FWS funds pay 75% of the student's earnings. The remaining 25% is paid by DSC.

    The UCOPE Work-Study program was authorized by the Utah Legislature in 1997 for students with documented need for help with college expenses. UCOPE funds from the state pay one hundred percent of the students' earnings.

    At Dixie State College, only the Office of Financial Assistance may award Federal/UCOPE Work-Study funds to students.

FWS/UCOPE employment is part of a student's financial aid package and cannot be awarded unless the student has submitted a financial aid application and has documented need.

Because of limited funds, students should apply for financial aid early if they wish to qualify for Work-study. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible after January 1 for the following school year.

Work-study awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis.
