The Students Working for Communities Act would expand the Federal Work-Study program to prioritize student employment in community service positions. The bill increases the percentage of work-study funds that must be used to pay students working in community service from the current 7 percent to between 9 and 24 percent, depending on total annual appropriations to the program, starting in fiscal year 2025. The legislation also establishes a technical assistance grant program funded by reserving 1 percent of work-study appropriations when annual funding reaches $1.3 billion or more, which would help colleges and nonprofits improve their community service work-study programs with a focus on serving first-generation and underrepresented student populations. No new mandatory funding is created; instead, the bill redirects existing work-study dollars to emphasize community service employment. This change would affect all institutions participating in the Federal Work-Study program and the students they employ, encouraging more campus-based employment focused on community needs.
