Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE U.S. PART I, LINE 2 SU PROVIDED MORE THAN $10.6 MILLION IN INSTITUTIONAL FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. THE AID PROVIDED CONSISTS OF A COMBINATION OF NEED-BASED AND MERIT-BASED GRANTS. MOST SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NEED-BASED. STUDENTS MUST APPLY FOR NEED-BASED FINANCIAL AID AWARDS BY COMPLETING THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA). THIS IS A STANDARD FORM USED IN HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THIS PURPOSE. BOTH NEED-BASED AND MERIT-BASED AID PROVIDED TO STUDENTS IS APPLIED BY THE UNIVERSITY DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENT'S ACCOUNT TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANTS ARE USED FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE. FINANCIAL AID IS GENERALLY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF TUITION, BUT CAN ALSO INCLUDE PARTIAL FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM FEE (HOUSING AND FIELD TRIPS).
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING PART I, LINE 3, COLUMN F THE BASIS OF ACCOUNTING ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS ACCRUAL.
NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS PART III, COLUMN (C) THE NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS WHO RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS WAS DERIVED BY QUERYING THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT DATABASE IN THE STUDENT RECEIVABLE SYSTEM FOR ACADEMIC TERMS WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. THE QUERY LOOKED FOR TUITION DISCOUNT (FINANCIAL AID) AND OTHER ASSISTANCE USING THE DEFINITION OF SUCH ITEMS AS REPORTED IN THE UNIVERSITY'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS PRODUCED A REPORT OF ALL STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED AID. RECOGNIZING THAT A STUDENT COULD BE RECEIVING AID IN MORE THAN ONE ACADEMIC TERM, THE INFORMATION WAS THEN SORTED BY INDIVIDUAL AND THE STUDENT WAS COUNTED ONLY ONCE.

MONITORING THE USE OF GRANTS IN THE U.S. PART I, LINE 2 SU PROVIDED MORE THAN $254 MILLION IN INSTITUTIONAL AID TO UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. THE AID PROVIDED CONSISTS OF A COMBINATION OF NEED-BASED AND MERIT-BASED GRANTS. STUDENTS MUST APPLY FOR THESE FINANCIAL AID AWARDS BY COMPLETING TWO FORMS THAT ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR NEED-BASED AID: THE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP SERVICE FINANCIAL AID PROFILE; AND THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID. THESE ARE STANDARD FORMS USED IN HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THIS PURPOSE. BOTH NEED-BASED AND MERIT-BASED AID PROVIDED TO STUDENTS IS APPLIED BY THE UNIVERSITY DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENT'S ACCOUNT TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANTS ARE USED FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE. MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE GENERALLY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF TUITION. STUDENTS REACHING THE "TUITION" LIMIT ARE INELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THE UNIVERSITY. NEED-BASED AID CAN BE USED FOR ALL EDUCATIONAL RELATED EXPENSES IN ADDITION TO TUITION.
GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS IN THE U.S. PART II THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDED FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO THE EVERSON MUSEUM OF ART (EVERSON) FOR COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES THAT ENHANCE THE MISSION OF BOTH THE UNIVERSITY AND THE EVERSON. THE UNIVERSITY AND EVERSON MAINTAIN REGULAR CONTACT REGARDING THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. THE UNIVERSITY SUPPORT FOR THE JEWISH CENTER WAS PART OF A UNIVERSITY WIDE EFFORT, INCLUDING RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC WORK BY STUDENTS AND FACULTY. THIS EFFORT JUMP-STARTED A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO MOBILIZE THE SYRACUSE COMMUNITY AND THE CENTRAL NEW YORK REGION AS A WHOLE TO RESTORE THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DONE TO THE NORWICH JEWISH CENTER AFTER AN ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK.
NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS PART III, COLUMN B THE NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS WHO RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS WAS DERIVED BY QUERYING THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT DATABASE IN THE STUDENT RECEIVABLE SYSTEM FOR ACADEMIC TERMS WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012. THE QUERY LOOKED FOR TUITION DISCOUNT (FINANCIAL AID) AND OTHER ASSISTANCE USING THE DEFINITION OF SUCH ITEMS AS REPORTED IN THE UNIVERSITY'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS PRODUCED A REPORT OF ALL STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED AID. RECOGNIZING THAT A STUDENT COULD BE RECEIVING AID IN MORE THAN ONE ACADEMIC TERM, THE INFORMATION WAS THEN SORTED BY INDIVIDUAL AND THE STUDENT WAS COUNTED ONLY ONCE PER FINANCIAL AID TYPE.
