In CommunitySuite, a multifund scholarship is comprised of several scholarships linked together. A multifund scholarship award will show several fund scholarships paying one award when actually there are several awards. On the financial reports, there is no difference if several separate awards are paid with one check or if a multifund scholarship award is made and paid with one check. However, there is a difference between the options on the student record. Multifund scholarships will show multifund on a line with a total.
