The following need-based and merit-based funding types are captured in Banner Student Aid (BSA)
At a high level,Ìýall need-based and merit-based student funding payments should be captured in BSA. In addition, thereÌýis some funding that, while a financial payment does not take place, results in a financial benefit to the student and as such should also be recorded in BSA. Examples of this may include things like waivers and discounts. Ensuring that this type of data is captured in BSA will provide a more accurate picture of how well our students are funded and will be imperative for accurate needs assessment.
There are currently multiple ways in which some funding reaches the student. This should be streamlined in order to ensure that all funding sources are accurately captured and recorded.
