SURVEY QUESTIONS?
Question 1 FAO: There could be a couple of reasons why you are seeing unqualified applicants. Why do I see unqualified applicants in the applicant pool on the Scholarship Portal? Your opportunity is an apply-to. The student s information has updated to make them unqualified, but it doesn t always pull them out.
Question 2 FAO: There are three steps to fix this process. If a scholarship award was made mistakenly on the portal, how do I correct that on the portal? Is there a communication sent to the student to inform them? Switch the applicant in the portal from Offered , Awarded , or Submitted to Decline Admin , or Decline . Fill out and email a correction sheet to FAO, UMF and Barb Bybee. Contact the student to notify them of the error.
Question 3 UMF: No, please do not use the 2021-22 or 2020-21 AWSS to make summer awards. We ask the department/unit send a request to the Foundation. I want to begin awarding summer scholarships, do I use the 21-22 Award Summary Sheet?

Collect the signature of your dean, director, or other specified responsible party who can approve awards.
