Scholarship Entry

Scholarship Entry

The following steps illustrate a basic Scholarship application entry.

NOTE: These steps may not mention every field that is available for entering Scholarship information. Refer to the Students Supertab, Grantees Supertab, and Applications Supertab sections for more information on all of the available fields.

NOTE: Determining required fields is an institutional decision. One organization might skip a field that is required at another. FIMS allows you to highlight the fields that are required at your organization.

Before you begin entering Scholarship applications, do the following:

• Check to see that each Applicant and institution has a Profile record.
• Check to see that each Applicant has a Student record.

NOTE: The Applicant must have a Profile record before you can create the Student record.

• Check to see that each institution has a Grantee record.

NOTE: The institution must have a Profile record before you can create the Grantee record.

NOTE: If the Student is the Grantee (instead of the educational institution), then the Student must also have a Grantee record.

If any of these records do not exist, you will have to create them before you can enter your applications. FIMS allows you to create these records directly from the Scholarship Management module.

Once you enter information in the required fields you can go on to enter additional information (in the Student, Grantee, and Application records). You can also change the default application values at any time.
