Understanding Manual Awarding, Auto Packaging, and Auto Select Packaging

The Award Entry component is used for manual awarding, Auto Packaging, and Auto Select Packaging. Use the Student Aid Package page for online manual awarding and Auto Packaging. View how each award affects unmet need and total aid amounts on the Need Summary page. Totals are updated on the Need Summary page after Validation. View the student's Financial Aid Term and term budget information on the Term Summary page.
