Assign grants and scholarships

When you assign financial aid in DreamApply, you mark a candidate as eligible for a specific grant or scholarship. While DreamApply does not process actual payments or disbursements, it can help model different scenarios, identify the most qualified candidates and visualize how funds could be distributed.

You can identify candidates and assign grants and scholarships in two ways:

• Manually: This type of assignment provides full control and allows you to select candidates individually.
• Automatically through bulk assign: You can use the Bulk award wizard to streamline the allocation process.

Before you begin

• To manually assign grants and scholarships, your account must have the Superuser role or the grants, offers-view and offers-edit permissions.
• To assign grants and scholarships in bulk, your account must have the Superuser role or the grants permission.
• To subscribe to journal events, your account must have the Superuser or Admissions administrator role or the journal-view and journal-edit permissions.

Manually assign grants and scholarships

To manually assign a grant or scholarship:

1. In the main menu, under Applications, select Browse.
2. In the application card, click the offer button for the necessary priority.
3. On the Grants and scholarships tab, click Award or Revoke to manage the assignment.

Assign grants and scholarships in bulk

To assign a grant or scholarship to multiple candidates in bulk:

1. In the main menu, under Grants and scholarships, select Grants and scholarships.
2. To the right of the grant or scholarship, click Bulk award.
