We would like to begin placeing work-study students in service-learning
positions off-campus in community agencies for this Spring 1997 semester.
However, we and our Financial Aid Office do not know how to coordinate the
payment of work-study money to the students. If the student is, in fact,
placed off-campus, who is responsible for actual disbursement of pay to
the student? The agency? Our office? And, if it is the agency, what
is/are the mechanism(s) for getting the agency the money to pay? We would
appreciate any information anyone has on this subject.
I can be reached at wolff@gl.umbc.edu or (410) 455-2493.
Thanks!
