Financial Aid Award Sequences

Award sequences are established to group awards that are commonly awarded together. For example, there may be two or three different state funded awards available to students residing within that state. During packaging of a student’s awards, you can simply load an appropriate award sequence instead of taking the time to add each award individually. Setting up award sequences is a two-part process. First you must establish the sequence group, then you will add awards to the group.

To establish sequence groups:

From CAMS Home page, click Financial Aid >Setup >Award Sequences to open the Sequence Groups list window.
Right-click in the data grid to open the Sequence Groups Entry window.
Select the appropriate direct cost type and coordinating student load from the drop-down lists.
Click Add to save this information, or Cancel to exit without saving.

To link awards to sequence groups:

From the Sequence Groups list window, highlight the appropriate Direct Cost Type and Student Load, then click the Awards tab. The Sequence Awards list window opens. Any awards linked to this direct cost display in the list.
To link another award, right-click in the data grid to open the entry window.
