Donnie Purvis at Weatherford College would like to give applicants the Award Period information on their tile card in the system. He feels that it would be helpful for applicants to see this right on the screen in the system. He would love to see it below the Offer amount and status.

This just came up for this again today, and I totally understand the student's confusion. To summarize, Season means nothing to the student - the important information for them is when they'll receive the award. Unless the user enters the Award Period into the In-System Offer, it's not clear when they're receiving the award. We would like to see the offer/post-acceptance tile display the Award Period instead of the Season to help allevitate student confusion/questions.
UW Madison is still interested in this functionality. It would make it really helpful for students to get a clear understanding of their scholarships for the year. It would be extra helpful too when there are moments of overlap between awarding years (before it is time to archive old opportunities).
