Based on the information you provided, your payment is considered a scholarship under the University's Student Payment Guidelines. Institutional funds provided for travel expenses must be considered as financial aid (scholarship or fellowship) when a student is traveling for their academic or personal benefit. Funds may be provided through the SIS or Chrome River, but if Chrome River is used, the amount provided must be recorded in the SIS as financial aid. Regardless of the payment method, there may be limits on when and how much can be paid to, or on behalf of a federal aid recipient.
Since the student's travel is not related to his/her academic program, please submit the following information to our office via the Contact Form.
- Is the expense being reimbursed through Chrome River?
- If no, please provide an item type to be used in SIS
- Term the travel is taking place
