Summer Enrolled Students: Once grades have been finalized and posted upon every conclusion of a semester, the financial aid team is required to review satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to determine your financial aid eligibility. SRJC adheres to this Federal requirement for SAP review. 
Soon Summer grades will be posted, and the Financial Aid staff will be reviewing your SAP status. If you are eligible, the first financial aid disbursement for the fall academic term may then follow within two to four weeks. 
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to follow Federal regulations.

Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based financial aid program for FAFSA filers that provides eligible students with the opportunity for part-time employment while they attend school. Hired students earn a paycheck by working in approved on-campus positions, helping them pay for educational and living expenses while gaining valuable work experience.

Awarding of FWS may be provided on a first-come, first-served basis, as funding is limited. Additionally, even if awarded, once hired, FWS funding may be limited.

FWS is typically awarded for Fall and Spring semesters and may be awarded for Summer. Recipients must maintain at least half-time enrollment to be eligible. If you are eligible for FWS, it will be listed among awards in your Bear Cub Hub.

• Earn money while you're in school to help pay for educational and living expenses.
