Regarding our CSFW-S program:
Centenary College places work-study students in off-campus
positions through the service-learning office. The director of
service-learning supervises the students only on paper. The supervisor
of the agency who receives the student is the actual supervisor and
communicates with the service-learning office. At the end of the month,
the student turns in time cards or a time sheet to the service-learning
director who verifys the hours. The director transfers the information
to a campus time sheet and turns that into the financial aid director.
The student is then paid by the college as if he/she were working in an
on-campus position. For all practical purposes, the student is employed
by the college and placed off-campus.
Now, I will qualify what I have written by stating the Centenary
College picks up the 25% that the work-study program says can be either
born by the college, the agency, or a combination of both. If your
college is not picking up the 25% or is sharing that with the agency, I
cannot help you out. However, the 75% that is covered by work-study
money should be paid through the college.
