Student Employment & Work-Study at Evangel
Each year, the federal government helps fund on-campus and off-campus student employment through the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program and other campus jobs. If you’re looking for ways to help pay for college, working on campus is a great place to start.
📝 How Do I Find a Campus Job?
- Log into Handshake and search Evangel University Student Employment as the company.
- Spot Jobs include babysitting, housework, yard work, etc. Use the same company name to search.

💡 What is Federal Work-Study?
- FWS is a need-based program that allows students to earn money for college expenses by working part-time.
- To qualify, file the FAFSA and demonstrate financial need.
- Work-study is not an automatic award—you must secure a job and work to earn it.
- Wages are taxable and reported on your FAFSA as earned income.
✅ How to Get Approved for FWS?
- Submit the FAFSA (Evangel school code: 002463).
- Financial Aid will determine if you’re eligible for FWS.
- If awarded, find a job and begin earning your award.
- Limited funding means not all eligible students may receive FWS.
