Scholarship Privacy
The following information was recently shared in The Pulse and includes a minor correction as to where the data can be viewed.
To maintain compliance with privacy laws, specifically the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Higher Education Act, all scholarship recipients have had their identifying scholarship name removed from GAIL under the Education tab. In addition, the recipient names have been removed from the scholarship fund record.
Although GAIL has never recorded the current student recipient information, we know that many of you use the removed info to identify past scholarship recipients. We wanted to ensure you still had a way to know this information, so in place of the formal scholarship name under the Scholarship section of the Education tab, former recipients will now have a general “UGA Scholarship Recipient” tag under the Involvements section of the Education tab. You will then be able to access further details about which scholarship they received using FAME or Scholarship Universe. Every unit has a Scholarship Universe/FAME liaison that can help you find this info.
Questions about these changes? Please email Jordan Dotson and Graff Wilson.
Here is an example of how and where this data will now appear in GAIL:
