Understanding the Status of Your Award

Students can view and manage current and previous financial aid awards on the Student Administration System.

Award Statuses

To better understand your award status, review the information below. 

The corresponding portion of the award offered, accepted, and disbursed will display for each term.

  • Offered – Denotes the amount of the award offered.

  • Accepted – The portion of the award that has been accepted. If the amount displayed is zero, this indicates that you have not yet accepted the award.

  • Disbursed – The portion of the award to be disbursed. If the amount displayed is zero, this indicates that the award has not yet been disbursed.

Example Award Statuses

An example award status summary is illustrated below:

  • The Offered status will display in the Net Award column unless the student elects to reduce the amount during the Accept/Decline process. 

  • The Accepted status will display in the Award Status column. 

  • The Disbursed status will display in the Disbursed column.

Some forms of aid are not disbursed through the Office of Student Financial Aid Services, and will always show a disbursed amount of ‘0.’ Those types of aid include Work-Study, Private Scholarships, Fellowships, Loans (manually processed), and Tuition Waivers.
