Michael SaundersThe Federal Work-Study Program assists those undergraduate postsecondary students that cannot afford their educational expenses without financial assistance by providing them with part-time employment.

These can include but are not limited to universities, colleges, hospital schools of nursing, vocational-technical schools and for- profit institutions.
