Allow for Total Award Amount to blank/words

The user would like for the Total Award amount to be blank so they are not forced to input a number. If they do not have a set number of awards, they don't want to make up a number or input zero.

    Point of clarification from Wisconsin regarding my previous comment with screenshots - the request is to allow for text when awarding, and not for the Visible Award Amount field.

    Would like for this field to be able to include text like "Full Tuition and Fees." Depending on when the award is granted the exact dollar amount may not be known. Because this is not currently possible, users that need this functionality are awarding outside of the system.

    Another example is "Non Resident Tuition Waiver" to indicate that the student will be awarded the tuition difference amount between non resident and resident tuition cost.

    Desire is to set the options by the system administrator rather than having Blackbaud create the options.

    In cases where they want it to be blank, could they use a dash -  instead?

    Please add WISC-Madison, they would like this to appear blank as well not, $0.00 if unknown and not "Varies".
