Student Employment

Gulf Coast State College offers Federal Work Study, Florida Work Experience Program, and Student Assistant student-employment programs.

FWS is a need-based, federally funded employment program that allows students to earn money through on-campus or off-campus employment to help with educational expenses.  GCSC typically receives over $100,000 of FWS funding each aid year so students have a better chance at becoming a student employee if they submit a FAFSA!
