  5. Choose the selection set that contains the population of students you want to be able to view the awards page in the associated academic year.
  6. Optionally, change Display Important Information to Yes if you wish to display any existing important information notices you’ve created when a student first visits the awards page. If you adjust this to Yes, you'll see a list displayed of all available important information notices that have the Awards Page type.

    Tip: If you have important information you'd like to associate with the awards page, be sure to create the important information with the Awards Page type prior to creating your awards page.

  7. Optionally, change Display Cost of Attendance to Yes if you wish to display a cost of attendance section to students on the awards page. If you adjust this to Yes, the total Cost of Attendance will be displayed to students on the awards page. If you want the full breakdown to display to students, change Display Cost of Attendance Breakdown to Yes. Additionally, update the title for Cost of Attendance Section Title if desired.
  8. If you want customized names, update the name for the Grants, Loans, and Work-Study section titles that display on the awards page to students.
  9. Select Create. A success message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page letting you know the requirements page has been created.

    Caution: Once an awards page is created, it cannot be deleted.

  1. Once created, you’ll see the awards page in the Awards Page list. Select it from the list to add the display text.
  2. Within the display text editor box, you can input and format the information you’d like displayed to students at the top of the awards page. Please see the formatting text section of Communication Templates for more information on using the editor.
  3. From the edit view, you can also make any necessary edits to the parameters you previously set.
  4. Select Save. A success message is displayed in the upper right portion of the page letting you know the important information has been saved.

    Tip: The awards page you created can be copied for use with other types. See Copying an Awards Page for more details on how to complete this.
