Student Financial Aid Transactions

About Student Financial Aid Transactions

The student financial aid transactions page displays financial aid awards associated with an individual student. To apply an award manually refer to the Manually Award Individual Award documentation.

Financial Aid Transaction Awards are the umbrella that individual disbursements of aid are held in. One award can have one or many disbursements for one or multiple terms.
