Award Summary By Date

Use the As of Award Summary page select (Financial Aid, then select Awards, then select View by Date, then select As of Award Summary) to review a student's aid information as of a particular date. The page displays information for the entire aid year, including the financial aid item type, the career, and the offered, accepted, authorized, and disbursed amounts for each award in that aid year. The information is from student award information and the authorization and disbursement processes.

See Reviewing Award Summary by Date.

Award Summary Information

Use the Award Summary page select (Financial Aid, then select Awards, then select View Term Award Summary, then select Award Summary) to view a student's awards and the offered, accepted, authorized, and disbursed amounts for each award for the entire aid year. Totals for each type of amount are displayed at the bottom of the page. Authorized and disbursed amounts might not equal the accepted amount if not all terms have been disbursed.

See Reviewing an Annual Award Summary.

Award Summary Information By Category

Use the Award Category Totals page select (Financial Aid, then select Awards, then select View Award Category Summary) to view awards by award category for the entire aid year.

If the student has been overawarded by either federal or institutional calculations, the unmet need information is highlighted in red. You can click the drill-down button to view the awards included in each category—and the award status, offered, accepted, authorized, and disbursed amounts, and career, disbursement plan and split codes.
