Set up award periods

An award period groups impact statements for easier identification and export.

For example, your financial system might label the Spring 2024 term as SP24 or 102104. They can be created as award periods and included as part of an impact statement.

Once you've tagged an impact statement with an award period, use it to organize awards:

  • Filter by award period in any system grids

  • Include award periods in CSV exports for other systems

  1. Go to Site, Configurations, Award Periods.

  2. In Add New Award Periods, enter the appropriate name or code. Enter each name or code on a new line.

  3. Select Update to create new award periods.

Though you can't delete award periods, you can edit, update, or disable existing periods:

  1. Go to Site, Configurations, Award Periods.

  2. Make changes.

  3. Select Update.

Note: Any changes made will affect existing current or archived awards in your system.

When creating a recipient import, include award period data in a column and map that column to the Award Period field. For more information on imports, see Import recipients.
