Scholarship Application System
The Scholarship Application System is a system that allows students to apply for some scholarships electronically. Currently, the scholarships are limited to some Admissions Scholarships and some Foundation Scholarships. These Scholarships are defined using the Scholarship Application System Control. However, if a student meets the criteria of more than one scholarship, then they may be considered without the necessity of submitting multiple applications. In addition, the system provides a way for the Admission Coordinator to gather important data about each student when considering them for an award. This information is now provided electronically, thus reducing the need for manual input (and potential errors) of information available within Banner.
