Award Letter

A financial aid award letter is a notification of financial assistance displaying the estimated amount that is to be awarded to eligible students. Eligible students can accept or reject part or all of the financial aid package. You can view your financial aid award letter in Student Portal. You can also view all holds related to your financial aid and other messages and document requirements.

Only student financial aid packages with the appropriate status are displayed online. Institutions use Anthology Student to determine the financial aid packaging statuses that enable displaying student award letters online. Typically, awards in an Estimated status display in the online award letter. When a student accepts an award online, the status is updated to Pending. The display changes to a read-only state when a student accepts an award letter online. Any student modification of the awards displayed results in a Contact Manager activity that can be directed to any staff member at the institution.
