Financial Aid and BisonHub Questions

Whats is BisonHub?

Howard faculty and staff currently use BisonHub powered by Workday for finance, human resources, procurement, and payroll, and will use it for student-specific modules including Admissions, Advising, and Financial Aid. The implementation of the student-specific modules began in Summer 2023 and culminates in Fall 2024. 


 

How do I accept or decline my financial aid award offer in BisonHub?

 Click "Financials Hub">"View Financial Aid">Select an aid year>Accept/Decline award (**please note, you must accept your award offer for each semester).

What is a Provisional Award offer?

A provisional award offer is an award that cannot be accepted by the student within BisonHub. The provisional award requires an additional step to take place to be accepted on the student's behalf.
