Payments for Scholarships/Fellowships/Awards Programs
Welcome to the classification page for scholarships, fellowships, and awards. This is where you can determine the appropriate channel for processing these distinct types of payments.
Departments should follow best practices and invite vendors to register before purchases are made and services provided. This is in order to ensure that prospective vendors are in compliance with University policies and procedures and Federal and State law.
Receiving Payments
Some payments are processed through Procurement while others are processed through individual School Student Financial Aid Offices. Review the tables below to find the program related to the payment you wish to make and determine the appropriate payment channel.
To view payment statuses and remittances from Vendor Management, please visit the AP Payment Status & Remittance Tool. (This application also includes the Vendor ID Lookup Tool to assist users.)
