Record the disbursement outcome

Record an approved application as Disbursed after Finance Officer checks the agreed payment confirmation.

Step by step

  1. Identify approved support Finance Officer

    Finance Officer selects the Approved application and checks its learner, award and approved amount. Resolve any disagreement about the original decision with Scholarship Reviewer before beginning the finance handoff.

    • Approved learner, award and amount are checked
    • Updates Scholarship applications, Scholarship awards, Learners
  2. Obtain the finance confirmation Finance Officer

    Finance Officer follows the program's payment procedure with the system or team responsible for execution. Establish the confirmation that permits the application status to be updated. If confirmation remains outstanding, keep the application in its approved state.

    • External confirmation supports the next recorded state
    • Updates Scholarship applications
  3. Record the authorized transition Finance Officer

    Finance Officer uses the permitted application action to advance Approved to Disbursed. Check the saved application identity and amount. This records the confirmed operating outcome and does not constitute a new scholarship eligibility approval.

    • Permitted action advances Approved to Disbursed
    • Updates Scholarship applications, People, Enrollments
  4. Reconcile related finance work Finance Officer

    Finance Officer checks whether the support has a separate fee-allocation consequence. Use the owning finance procedure to record and reconcile that allocation rather than assuming the application transition changes a charge.

    • Any separate charge allocation is reviewed
    • Updates Fees, Learners, Scholarship applications
  5. Confirm the office handoff Scholarship Officer

    Scholarship Officer locates the saved Disbursed application and understands the confirmation procedure behind it. Bring a disputed payment or mistaken status back to the agreed correction owner before further action.

    • Scholarship office can explain the saved outcome
    • Updates Scholarship applications

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Staff mark the application Disbursed because it was approved. Wait for the confirmation required by the finance procedure.
  • The application still sits in Review. Complete the permitted approval path before recording disbursement.
  • A learner fee is assumed to be paid by the status change. Check the separate allocation and payment records with Finance Officer.
