Click the Defaults button to reset the student contribution and parent contribution to current values from STD_AWD_PER.

To retrieve calculated values as the default, clear the Use EFC Override Values check box, call INAS, return to this page, and click the Defaults button. |
Note: Ensure that the budget duration set in global policy options or at the extension level supports the EFC overrides being established for the award period. Warning messages appear if you create overrides for an award period that is not supported by the budget duration.
