Overview

The import awards process enables schools to import both current and historical award and disbursement data for students in batch.  This data is delivered by uploading of a file that abides by a specific XML schema. The “Import Awards and Disbursements (XML)” process uses the “ImportAwardLoad_FW” File Watcher folder when uploaded via sFTP. 

This file typical contains institutional awards and disbursements, like scholarships or grants that the school packages in their Student Information System (SIS.)  The awards and disbursements included in this file will be applied to the student's "Academic Plan."  Importing this information assists Regent Award with accurately packaging students up to the appropriate costs. The awards will be applied by Regent Award according to the configured packaging philosophy. 

Note that if the fund is configured to disburse by Regent Award only historic disbursements should be provided on the file.
