May agencies consider financial need in the selection process for their Student Educational Employment Programs?
Yes, however, generally there is no requirement for students to meet any specific economic income criteria to be eligible. Agencies may design their Student Educational Employment Programs to include outreach to those students who are most in need of financial assistance. The criteria and documentation to demonstrate financial need must be established by the agency. See 5 CFR § 213.3202(a)(8) and 213.3202(b)(8).
