Configure Fund Sources

You can use the Fund Sources page to configure the sources of funds for financial aid for students. For some types of fund sources, you can also specify the maximum number of awards per year and the maximum amount of the award for one or more award years.

Your institution uses the fund sources you configure here when you award students on the Awarding tab. (Select the Students tile > select the name in the Students list > expand Financial Aid > select the Awarding tile > Awards tab.)

Use the top of the page to specify information common to all fund sources. After you select the type of fund source, the values you can specify and check boxes you can select will vary. For example, the: 

  • Financial Eligibility field is only available if you are using the Student Financial Aid Automated Awarding (SFAAA) feature and you selected Grant (Other than Pell), Scholarship, or Other Outside Resources in the Type field.

  • Merit Based list is only available if you select Non-Need Based in the Financial Eligibility field.

For a list of configurable fund source types, see Fund Source Types.

The areas you can expand also depend on the type of fund source and your institution.

  • Rules and Attributes: For all fund sources, specifies the rules and attributes associated with the fund source (Not all fields are available for all fund sources.) 

  • Disbursement Approval Criteria: If your institution has Anthology Student approve disbursements automatically based on criteria, specifies the criteria.

  • General Ledger Accounts and Refunds and Stipends: If your institution uses all FA G/L functions, you can specify different general ledger account numbers for handling disbursements, refunds, and stipends for each fund source and campus. Anthology Student uses the account numbers to release transactions to the general ledger when funds for the fund source are received or refunded. (If you do not specify the account numbers, it uses the general ledger debit and credit accounts associated with the bank account from which the checks are written.)

  • Loan Bank Accounts: If the fund source is a loan, specifies the default lenders, servicers, and guarantors.

  • Automation Attributes:  If you are using the SFAAA feature to add awards and one or more of the campuses you selected in the Campus list have Noel Levitz integration, specifies the values required by SFAAA.

If your institution: 

  • Has limits on the number of awards per year and the amount of the award, you can set award year limits for some fund sources for one or more award years (see Configure Award Limits).

  • Has configured fund source permissions (see Configure Fund Source Security), you must configure the permissions for the fund source.

When Anthology Student is integrated with Anthology Finance & HCM:

  • Fund sources are created in Anthology Finance & HCM.

  • Fund sources cannot be added or modified in Anthology Student, that is, the grid toolbar buttons to create or edit fund sources are not available.

  • Fund sources listed in the grid are configured in Anthology Finance & HCM to be displayed in Anthology Student.

Prerequisites

You must have Financial Aid - Configuration - Manage authorization.

If you want to edit, delete, or deactivate an item and it is associated with more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if the item was configured so that it is available at three campuses and you only have access to two of the campuses, you can view, but cannot edit it. (When you add an item, you can only select campuses where you have access.)

To unassociate a campus from a fund source, the fund source must not be associated with an agency.

To add fund sources, Anthology Student must not be integrated with Anthology Finance & HCM. (Fund sources can only be created in Anthology Finance & HCM.) The grid only lists fund sources configured in Anthology Finance & HCM to be displayed in Anthology Student.)

To edit the following values for fund sources, Anthology Student must not be integrated with Anthology Finance & HCM.

For all other types of fund sources, it defaults to the appropriate value and cannot be changed. Anthology Student uses the values to calculate amounts for manual packaging, automatic packaging, financial aid batch packaging, and in the Alternate and Standard grids on the Awards tab. For Need based or if no value is specified, Anthology Student performs the calculation for need based aid and displays the value in the Gross Need Based Aid Pkgd field in the grid on the Awards tab.

    Receipt CommentClosed Specify any comments or notes that you want to be printed on the notification of receipt.

    Refund PayeeClosed If you selected ACG Grant, Grant (Other than Pell), Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Pell Grant, SMART Grant, or Scholarship in the Type list, you can use the field to specify the first line displayed on the check and check ledger. If your institution also configures the fund source so that it allows editing of payee for refunds, a different payee can be selected when scheduled refunds are edited in Student Accounts.

    SEOG GrantClosed If you selected Grant (Other than Pell), select the check box to specify that the fund source is a Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). When selected, Anthology Student identifies and includes SEOG records in the FISAP report. -Match%Closed Specifies the percentage of matching SEOG grant funds provided by your institution.

If you also select the Associate Courses to Schedule check box, you can select the check box to link course registration through Portal to the creation of scheduled disbursements. When you select this option, your system administrators can configure fund source types of Cash, Other Outside Resources, and Scholarships for students to select from to pay for a course on Portal. When the student selects the fund source to pay for a course, Anthology Student automatically creates an award for the fund source with a disbursement to pay for the course. If the student selects more than one fund source to pay for a course, Anthology Student creates an award for each fund source with the corresponding disbursement. If you select this option, you must also use the buttons and fields under Schedule Payment Due Date to specify the due dates. If the award is paying for a course and the award is being paid for by third party agencies not linked to a credit card, you should manually create the payment plan for the agency (such as Military Tuition Assistance and Corporate Tuition Assistance).

    Disburse Stipend without Posted Funds Closed Select the check box if you want to process stipends that have not had funds posted to the student ledger. For the unposted stipend to be processed, your institution must have also configured the campus so that it does not prevent disbursing of stipends if funds are not posted. If your institution prevents it, it will not be processed even if you select the check box here. A stipend can always be processed if it has been posted to the student ledger.

    Exclude from Estimated Financial AssistanceClosed Available for Grants (Other than Pell), Scholarships, Other Outside Resources, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant in the Type list, you can select this check box to specify that awards using one of these fund source types will not be included in that Package to Cost of Attendance grid for the student’s financial aid package.

    Interest Charges Closed If you selected Cash or Other Outside Resources in the Type list, select the method you want Anthology Student to use to recalculate the interest at the time that the payment is made. If you are using the Generate Interest Charges feature in Student Accounts to calculate and post interest charges to the student ledgers, select Use Processes Menu Generate Interest Charges. Otherwise, select Post Interest Charges for Payments.

    Next Payment DueClosed For Financial Aid G/L funds, select this option to allow posting funds directly to the student's ledger.

    Other Scholarship/Grant Closed If you select Other Outside Resources in the Type list, you can select the check box to specify that the fund source is a scholarship or grant. Do not select the check box if want the fund source to be cash or student payment plan. When selected, the fund source is treated as a scholarship by the 1098-T Processing Utility. If you do not select the check box, the fund source is not treated as a scholarship by the 1098-T Processing Utility. If the scholarships are greater than the charges, the 1098-T Processing Utility does not allow the printing of the 1098-T statement.

    Overpayments Closed If you selected Cash, Other Outside Resources, Iraq and Afghanistan Services Grant, Pell Grant, or TEACH grant in the Type list, select the method used to apply overpayments received.

Such postings could be rather than, or in addition to, automated procedures such as posting FA disbursements. It is disabled if you select Work Study in the Type list.

    Post to Next Payment Due DateClosed If you selected the check box for Post Directly to Ledger Card and you select the check box, specifies that the amount is posted to the next payment due date. The check box is selected by default.

    Package Crossover Term/Payment Period with Award Year 2 ISIRClosed Select the check box to allow the term or payment period that is crossing over to be packaged in the second award year using that second ISIR value. This occurs only when the student has exhausted their Pell award for award year 1 and has not been packaged for any additional funding for that term or payment period. If the check box is not selected, the standard awarding of the disbursement by the term or payment period falling within the award year that is being packaged is followed.

    Print Promissory Note Closed If you selected Student Payments in the Type list, select the check box to specify that the promissory notes are printed using Anthology Student.

    Re-Amortize Student Plan Overpayment Closed If you selected Cash or Other Outside Resources in the Type list, did not select the Apply Over Payments to Interest Before Principle and Recalculate Interest at time Payment is made check boxes, selected Post Interest Charges for Payments in the Interest Charges list, and selected Apply to Last in the Overpayments list, select the check box to specify that the plan is re-amortized when there is an overpayment on the plan.

    Recalculate Interest at time Payment is made Closed If you selected Cash or Other Outside Resources in the Type list and Post Interest Charges for Payments in the Interest Charges list and you did not select Apply Overpayments to Interest before Principal, you can select the check box to have Anthology Student recalculate the interest at the time the payment is made.

Do not select it if you do not want it to reduce the remaining balance for funds paid directly to the student (such as Veterans Administration benefits).

    Require Scheduled Disbursement Closed Select the check box if you want disbursements for the fund source to be scheduled before they can be posted by Student Accounts. Do not select the check box if you want to post disbursements in Student Accounts without requiring that they have a scheduled disbursement first. This is a quicker method of posting disbursements to a student ledger. When you post the payment in Student Accounts, you are prompted for a minimal amount of information concerning the financial aid and Anthology Student will create the disbursement in Financial Aid. If you selected Other Outside Resources or Work study in the Type field, the check box is disabled because it does not apply. For all other fund sources in the Type list, it is selected by default. The check mark cannot be removed if you selected Direct Plus Loan, Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, or TEACH Grant.

    Require Scheduled Disbursement for New Awards Closed If you selected Other Outside Resources in the Type list and the Reduce Remaining Balance to Schedule check box, you can select the check box to specify that staff members must select one of the configured disbursement schedules when they add the award.

    Restrict Minimum Payment to Accrued Interest Closed If you selected Cash or Other Outside Resources in the Type list and you selected Post Interest Charges for Payments in the Interest Charges list and you also selected Re-Amortize Student Plan Overpayment, select the check box to specify that the minimum payment must be at least the amount of the accrued interest.

    Round DisbursementsClosed If you selected Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, Pell Grant, or TEACH Grant in the Type list, select the check box to specify that refund amounts are rounded for Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4). Anthology Student rounds Direct Loan funds per COD requirements and allows Pell amounts to be rounded as defined in the FSA Handbook. Anthology Student makes the adjustments when posting the financial aid refund calculation. When selected, rounding is activated within the refund calculations for refund amounts, and it is applied when the results from the refund calculation are posted to the student ledger. For example, the refund calculation results may show a particular fund with cents, but when the results from the refund calculation are posted to the student ledger, the rounding logic is applied to round to the nearest dollar. This is effective for refunds that are done from the time of implementation of Anthology Student version 15.0. There is no retroactive handling of rounding of any existing refunds that have not been posted.

    Scheduled Payment Due Date Closed If you selected Cash, Other Outside Resources, or Scholarship in the Type list and you selected the Associate Course to Payments and the Auto Create Payment Schedule check boxes, use the radio buttons and corresponding field for entering the number of days to specify when the payment is due. The date must not be more than one year after the date (365 days).

    Third Party Funds Source Code Closed If you are using a servicer, specify the Third-Party Code (ID number) that represents your institution. This number is usually provided to your institution by the servicer and represents an identifier by which the institution is known to the servicer.

    Notes:

    • If the Round Disbursements check box is cleared and the registry key to allow Pell Cents is enabled, the exact number of cents is displayed and saved for the Pell origination amount.

      The Pell origination amount is processed and saved with the properly calculated number of cents in regard to the Year-Round Pell Additional Eligibility Indicator.

      This configuration ensures that origination amounts properly display the number of cents when COD Import and COD Export are run.

    • If the Round Disbursements check box is selected, Anthology Student uses up/down alternate rounding starting with the first disbursement that needs rounding. Once rounding has started it continues through the disbursements with the last disbursement receiving the remainder of the eligible amount for the year.

    • The Add’l Eligibility Indicator check box must be selected for Year-Round Pell to be considered for a student. For more details, see Year-Round Pell Grants for Award Years 2017-2018 and Later.

Delete or Deactivate Fund Sources

You can use the Fund Sources page to delete the fund sources.

  • Is associated with a student or record, you can only deactivate it
