scholarship reporting - awarded vs. distributed?

MaryBethBurwood

Hello! Each year there unfortunately is a discrepancy between the total # and $$ amount for scholarships due to a variety of factors; I'm sure many of you can relate. Curious to know how other scholarship providers handle reporting for marketing, annual reports, etc.

• do you use awarded vs. distributed totals? or a combo of both depending on audience?
• how do you handle multi-year - full award amount or annual award
• if recipients are no longer eligible to received their award or if they defer, do you still include them in your marketing/ annual report?
• do you track and run your reports through SLM, CS, or somewhere else?

Looking forward to finding an efficient and accurate way to handle this in the future - thanks in advance for your input!
