titleProSAM / SFP (Financial Aid System)

ProSAM (Professional Student Aid Management) is the centralized system used to disburse need-based (financial aid) and merit-based (financial support) funding to students.

  • Support requests (submitted by departments) in FSRT are transferred (by FSU) to ProSAM for packaging; automated jobs then post transactions via ISIS and OFC.
  • Financial Support Unit (FSU) and Financial Aid & Scholarships (FAS) utilize this system to manage packaging, facilitate payments, and meet both IRS and UCOP reporting requirements.  
  • Departments can not directly access this system; financial support payments are entered via the FSRT application (see "FSRT" above).

ProSAM will soon be replaced with SFP (Student Financial Planning) - targeted for AY2324timeline TBD (subject to change based on the ESR-SIS-SLcM timeline).
