Work Study Administration Program

The University of Missouri-Kansas City Federal College work-Study (FCWS) Program is funded through Federal Title IV resources and subject to federal regulations. The program is administered by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office (FASO). UMKC is allocated funding each year by the Department of Education and is required to match 25% of the funded amount. Funding is limited and varies from year to year.

The intent of the program is to provide jobs for undergraduate and graduate students who have financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It allows a student to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages students to find work related to their course of study and it also provides opportunities for community service work. Work-Study jobs are generally located on-campus but there are some off-campus jobs in the community as well. Students are generally paid bi-weekly and students must be paid at least once a month. The maximum a work study student may earn cannot exceed their total Federal Work-Study award. Students’ generally will work 15-20 hours per week.

Graduate Studies - Fee Remissions/Waivers

The School of Graduate Studies provides funding for fee remissions to academic units for their GRAs/GTAs. Deans receive a letter in May stating the dollar amount of fee remissions available from the School of Graduate Studies for their units. The fee remissions ordinarily apply to 6-9 credit hours per semester. Deans wishing to grant fee remissions of less than 6 hours credit mush receive prior approval from the School of Graduate Studies. To be eligible for the fee waivers, the students must be appointed to at least .25 FTE at a stipend level equal or greater than either the campus minimum (equivalent to $7,600/year for .05 FTE) or the stipend level used in the previous year by the academic unit. Once an academic unit determines how they plan to use their funds, they submit the required form(s) to the School of Graduate Studies for internal processing and final transmittal to the UMKC Cashier’s Office.
