How to renew or end an expiring aid award

  1. 1Click Billing under Administration in the sidebar, then click the "Financial aid" tab
  2. 2Read the amber banner: it names each active award that ends within 60 days, or that is labeled with a different school year once the current year has started — the student, the award, and the day it stops
  3. 3Click the "Needs renewal" chip above the awards list to show only those awards
  4. 4Click "Renew" on the award you're keeping — the "Edit award" dialog opens with every field filled in
  5. 5Make sure "School year" names the year the award covers (an award labeled with any other year is flagged again once that year is under way), then push "Ends (optional)" out to the end of that year
  6. 6Click "Save" — the chip drops by one and the award keeps applying
  7. 7Not renewing? Click "End" instead: it stops applying to new invoices, and invoices already generated keep their amounts
  8. 8Click the "Needs renewal" chip again to see the full list

Part of Financial aid, scholarships & ESA

Set the year's aid budget, take applications in the portal, decide them against a sliding scale, and let every award land on the invoice by itself — plus the ESA and scholarship paperwork states keep asking for.
