Operational Financial Aid Application - iEnabler


This feature is now available via the iEnabler system.  It requires the student to supply the year, academic block, bursary required and certain financial details.  The details are then saved to the ITS database.  It is then up to the institution to work through the applications and allocate bursaries and loans.
