Financial Aid – How a Fluid Application Form Helps Funds Flow!

Track: Student Information System (SIS)

Session Number: 9626
Date: Mon, Feb 27th, 2023
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Description:

The University of Glasgow has developed a Fluid Financial Aid application form that quickly identifies the awards that a student is eligible to apply for, according to specific criteria.  Our dynamic form design allows each individual fund to be created with their own specific questions and document upload requirements.  Once submitted the Fund Administrator can then utilise the information from the form to determine if funds should be allocated to the student.
