Manage Awards Awarding – Scholarship/Grant Specific Orientation Setting
- Step 1: Once you click on Manage Awards – Multiple Funds the following screen is displayed showing all the linked funding sources that have been assigned to this application form.
- From the Home page > Select Application Form Name > Awards > Manage Awards – Multiple Funds
Search By: if you have a long listing or funding names you can use the search by at the top of the report to locate a specific funding name. Enter the full name or just part of the name and click the Search button to locate that funding source.
Export to Excel: This allows you to export this report to Excel and open it on your local computer.
Funding Name: Displays the name that the funding name is connected to this application form.
Total Amount Allocated – The amount available to an award from that funding name. This is the amount that was entered in the Setup Funding – Annual Budget field for the current academic year.
Total Amount Awarded – The total that has been awarded so far from this funding name.
Amount Unallocated – The total amount that is still available to award for that funding name.
Total No. of Applicants Awarded – The number of applicants has been awarded from this funding name.
No. of Applicants Awarded in this Application – Total number of applicants that have been awarded to the funding name that applied to this application form.
No. of Matching Applicants – The number of applicants matched to this funding name as being eligible for this funding based on eligibility set on the Setup Application Forms > Manage Funds Criteria Information. If you did not set eligibility criteria for a specific linked fund then all the applicants will appear that applied to the application form.
Note: If you do not see a funding source listed you will need to go back to your application form setup and link that funding source to the application using the Setup Application Forms > Manage Application Funds and set up the matching criteria (if applicable) in the Setup Application Forms > Manage Funds Criteria Information to only have applicants that meet certain fund criteria appear. If there are no specific criteria for that funding source and all applicants may be eligible, then you will not need to add criteria in the Manage Funds Criteria Information section.
Caution: If you used the matching fund eligibility question to match applicants, (the eligibility question that displayed to the applicant the eligible funds that they could select what they wanted to apply to), that question was built based on the funds you linked in the Setup Application Forms> Manage Application Funds and Manage Funds Criteria Information sections. Therefore, you will not want to add any additional funds at the time of awarding as the applicant’s application form has been closed and they will not be able to select that fund, due to it not being present at the time they applied.
- Step 2: Select the Scholarship Fund Name that you want to award.
- Step 3: This will open the Award Details for that funding source, listing all the applicants that applied and matched to the funding source, based on the criteria that were set in the Setup Application Forms > Manage Funds Criteria Information. (If you did not set any criteria, then all applicants that applied will show in the listing for that funding source)
(You will need to use the scroll bar at the bottom of this report to scroll left to right to see all the available columns in this report.)
- Step 4: When you first open this page the Total Score and Score columns will show a combined score on all tasks that were completed in the entire application form.
If you only want to see the scores for one specific task, click on the drop-down arrow located next to the Filter By Review Task, and search for the task that has the scoring you want to review for this funding source, and click on that task only.
- Step 5: The Total Score and Average Score will now show only the scores given for the task you selected.
The following options are available in this report:
Applicant Score - Clicking on the Applicant Score will allow you to see all the tasks that the applicant was scored on. This report will show the total score given in each task, and the reviewers that scored them. You can drill down by clicking on the task or score for a specific reviewer and open the actual scorecard for that reviewer and see how they scored that applicant in the task.

Return to the Award Applicant by clicking on the Award Applicant in the breadcrumb navigation:
- Step 8: To add a new award, click on the Add Award Button
- Step 9: The following screen will appear:
- Step 10: Awarded Fund: Select the fund source name for the award that is to be awarded to the applicant.
- Step 11: This will automatically populate the Amount Allocated and Amount Available fields showing what is available to award out of the funding source.
- Step 12: Initial Award/Final Award – If you do not want applicants to see that they have been awarded before notifying them of the award, enter the Initial Award amount otherwise, skip the initial award and enter the amount in the Final Award. (once this award has been saved, if the Final Award is populated the applicant will be automatically moved to the “Selected for an Award “ status and the applicant will be able to see that they have been selected for an award.)
Difference between the Initial Award and Final Award Columns
When awarding applicants the Initial award column is an optional column that can be left blank and only have the Final Award Column populated. However, when an applicant is awarded in the Final Award column, their status is automatically moved to a status of “Selected for an Award”. That status is viewable by the applicants on their dashboards.
Therefore, some clients do not want to have this status show to the applicants until they have been notified, or are sure that all the funding has been checked and awarded correctly to the proper applicants. So they prefer to first award their applicants using the Initial Award Column.
Then once everything has been verified and the applicants have been personally notified, they will then go in and edit that applicant’s awarding and add the amount again to the Final Award Column causing the applicant to then be automatically moved to a status of “Selected for an Award”.
