Overview

Once you have read this article you will be able to record Student Scholarship data for all scholarship types. Scholarship payments need to be added to the Unit Enrolment Screen prior to invoicing. These are considered a Funding Type in the same way as an upfront payment or Funding amount (e.g. Fee-Help / HECS-Help).

The workflows below are Accounting related to Scholarship adjustment to invoices. For the basic how-to guides and details on a student scholarship record, refer to the Student Subsidies and Scholarship Knowledge article.
