After you've selected your awarded applicants on the Award & Deny tab, click on the Distribution tab to:
- Indicate a dollar amount to award each applicant
- Publish/Unpublish the award status
Enter a Dollar Amount for Each Awarded Applicant
On this page, you'll see a list of all the students you've awarded, with the individual award amount in the left column. By default, the total award amount is distributed evenly among your awarded applicants.
Note: The checkbox that reads "Distribute award evenly" is checked, meaning that the total award amount has been evenly split among your awarded applicants:
If you don't wish to evenly award all applicants, or would otherwise like to adjust the individual award amounts, just uncheck this box.
The award amount field next to each student's name is now editable, and you may update the amount as you like. You cannot, however, exceed the "Total Award Amount" for the scholarship. If you accidentally try to award more dollars than you've allocated for this opportunity, you'll see a warning message. Either reduce the individual award amounts or increase the total award amount on the Details tab.
To help you track how many dollars you have left to award, 2 amounts are surfaced at the top:
-
Award Amount Remaining - the unawarded amount, calculated in real-time based on the total award amount minus all the individual awards you've entered
- Total Award Amount - the total scholarship value, lifted directly from the "Details" tab for this scholarship Amount Bar
Publish Award Status
Near the upper right corner of the page is the 'Publish Award Status' button:
When you click the button to "publish" the award status:
- Each awarded student will see a banner notification stating that they were awarded.
- Student's status will update from "Applied" to "Awarded" in their scholarship list (for the appropriate scholarship only).
- The individual award amount will be displayed on their dashboard.
- If you've configured any post-award follow-up questions for this scholarship, those items are generated and will be visible on the awarded applicant's dashboard. To learn more about creating post award follow up questions, click here.
After the award status has been published, you may "unpublish" it to return to a hidden state. The publish button in the upper right now reads "Hide Award Status."
Some additional notes about publishing the award status:
- Students are not automatically emailed when you publish the status of the scholarship (they just see status updates on their dashboard, etc. as noted above). You can email them on the Notify tab.
- It's not required that you publish the award status. You can award students and notify them via email without ever publishing the status.
Note: If you have After Awarding additional requirements configured (like a thank-you letter upload), you must publish the status to generate those items for students.
