FSPT: Stipends Entry Demonstration
The development of the new Financial Support Payments Tool (FSPT) Stipends Module is coming along, and we are thrilled to share a short demonstration of what it looks like so far.
Watch Short Video
The focus of the implementation team is currently on the functionality for entering non-employment stipends. There are two ways you can enter a stipend into FSPT: via bulk upload (one or many) or by entering a single stipend in the web browser user interface (UI). Follow along as Susan Laughlin, Director of Graduate Student Financial Support, demonstrates making a stipend entry both ways.
Please note that the FSPT is still in development. What you see in this video is a work in progress, and the FSPT application is evolving as it is tested and developed. If you would like to help us test the new application, you can sign up to be a tester for Stipends.
