The ability to add awarded Financial Aid information on the Decision tab for families to view
I would like the ability to add awarded Financial Aid information on the Decision tab for families to view. This would be a great implementation so families will be able to verify the amount of financial aid that has been awarded before selecting their decision.

Hi All, now when you go to edit the decision text that appears to candidates when an awarded decision as been made, you can include the financial aid placeholder.
This can be merged with 1452 idea.
Makes a ton of sense as this would also impact the decision process!!! There are a few other ideas like this one. Lets get them merged and send this on to the top of the list!!!
The contract only provides information to families receiving aid. We unable to inform them that financial aid was not awarded. There should be a line in the contract for Financial Aid - Denied so families are aware that we reviewed their request. If financial aid is put in the Decision tab, it should include an answer to all who requested aid.
This seems like a no-brainer. Extremely confusing and frustrating from the user's perspective as well as the admissions office.
Thanks for posting after our talk. I'm glad to see this is getting votes already. We are experiencing confusion from our applicant families about FA. They don't know to look for it in the contract. Ideally, we could post this in the decision tab and/or as a field in the merged decision letter.
Thanks for considering.
TOTALLY agree with this! We would like to only publish contracts for students who have accepted us but currently have to show for all students we accept so that they can see their financial aid!
