Funding
The Funding and Funding Allocation objects can be used to provide financial assistance for students. This can take shape in the form monetary benefits like Scholarships or Sponsoring, or in discounts to their student fees.
The Funding object needs to be created first. Once a student's application for Funding is approved, a Funding Allocation will be automatically created for that student. It will then be disbursed to help pay Student Fees from enrolled Courses.
For use case examples, see:
- Scholarship (Disbursement).
- Scholarship (Fee Line).
- Creating discounts for Student Fees.
- Creating discounts for Study Offerings (Continuing Education).
For the custom metadata to configure the Funding Types and their order, see: Funding Type Disbursement and Order (Custom Metadata Type).
