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.
