What is it?

The Federal Work-Study program provides part-time jobs for students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay for their educational expenses. Work-study jobs offer flexible hours that accommodate your class schedule. Jobs are available on campus in Leesburg, South Lake, Sumter and remotely.
The objectives of the federal student employment programs are:

  • To offer jobs to students who need to earn funds to help pay for their educational expenses.
  • To provide work experience that will enhance the student’s educational and/or occupational goals.
  • To provide additional services which would otherwise not exist for LSSC and for participating public or private non-profit organizations.
