Correcting the Grantee/Student/Institution

This utility changes the Grantee, Student or Institution specified in a posted Scholarship.

If you change the Grantee this utility alters Grant History and the payee in Accounts Payable (if the Grant is unpaid and the payee is the Grantee).

If you change the Institution or the Student, this utility determines whether either (or both) are Grantees for this Scholarship and alters the Grant History and payee information if necessary.

NOTE: In all cases, the Contact record should be related to the Student record.
