Applicants may choose to apply as Washington Fellows — a full-time appointment, where fellows are based in residence at the Department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., or as Campus Fellows — a part-time appointment, where fellows collaborate with Department staff while maintaining their regular school responsibilities in their home communities.

Federal Work Study Experimental Site
The Secretary announced additional funding for Federal Work Study (FWS) Experimental Sites, an initiative that expands earn-and-learn opportunities for students by removing the barriers to off-campus jobs, allowing students to work more hours, and institutions to pay for work-based learning, such as apprenticeships, externships, and clinical rotations. Initiated in February, FWS at 190 institutions, including Hispanic-serving institutions, has incentivized student work opportunities that provide a paycheck and meaningful skills training aligning with students’ future work goals.
