Fund Priority Guide

Use this workbook to create Fund Codes and set the order of funds for which SFP evaluates a student's eligibility.

Overview

This is the workbook in which you create Fund Codes for all Funds awarded in the application and set the order in which the student's eligibility for Funds is evaluated; for example, Pell Grant is first, then other grants, and, finally, loans.

You can further configure Fund attributes using the Non Federal Funds Attribute Workbook for Non-Federal Loan and Grant Funds and the FAS Fund Config Workbook for all other Funds.

Note: Once a Fund Code has been used in a transaction, it can't be deleted from Configuration. This is because SFP Configuration doesn't currently support an effective end date or delete indicator for Fund Configuration. Therefore, if an environment has transactional data relying on the Fund Code Configuration element, you can't remove the Fund Configuration. Workarounds to disable the Fund Code include configuring it as a manually-awarded fund or changing the award amount to always be zero.

Description of Fund.

Fund Code C Y

String

Alphanumeric ASCII text, up to 255 characters

Fund Code used to identify a fund.

This field is pre-configured by Oracle for Title IV funds.

Note: Once a Fund Code has been used in a transaction, it can't be deleted from Configuration. This is because SFP Configuration doesn't currently support an effective end date or delete indicator for Fund Configuration. Therefore, if an environment has transactional data relying on the Fund Code Configuration element, you can't remove the Fund Configuration. Workarounds to disable the Fund Code include configuring it as a manually-awarded fund or changing the award amount to always be zero.
