OUR MISSIONTo provide career services to both
students and alumni, and to facilitate the
process of connecting God-given passion to skills
and abilities through Charleston Southern
University majors.We endeavor to increase job
placement opportunities for students by
partnering with businesses, churches, and the
Charleston Southern University community. To
assist students who qualify for work-study in
finding jobs that will allow them to earn money
to help cover the cost of their education, and to
help students develop job skills for future
employment.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY FWS vs. Institutional
Work-Study IWS

• FWS Money comes from the Federal Government
  and is awarded by Financial Aid
  (863-7050)
• IWS Money comes from a CSU Departments budget
• Students with an FWS award will have more
  work-study positions to choose from
• We strongly recommend that FWS earnings are
  applied to student accounts through Tuition
  Deduction, as earning wages for your education
  is the purpose of the Federal Work-Study program
