Saint Louis University Community Service Federal Work-Study Program allows students to earn $15 per hour working at a local nonprofit agency. SLU students can gain valuable experience while making a difference.
Create Your Own Community Service FWS Experience
Students who already volunteer as youth tutors at a school or nonprofit organization in the St. Louis region can use their experience to earn FWS funds, if they have them. This can include students who are volunteering as part of a clinical, practicum, internship or other field experience, as long as it involves tutoring youth or family literacy. If your site is open to enrolling in the program, and you are FWS-eligible, please complete this form to start the process.
Before completing the form, communicate with your site to explain the program, and have a screenshot of your 2024-2025 Award Overview from Banner listing your FWS award and amount.
