A computer program model for budgeting intercollegiate athletic scholarships

Athletic scholarships are approved by the athletic department and awarded by the University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. The athletic business manager was not actively involved in this procedure. The athletic business manager is the individual directly accessible to the financial figures of an athletic department. The process of approving and awarding an athletic scholarship needed to be designed. A computer program was created to aid the athletic business manager in maintaining athletic scholarship information. The computer program is flexible to allow information to be entered or deleted concerning athletic scholarships. Budget allocations for each sport, agreed upon by the athletic business manager and the Director of Athletics, are programmed into the computer. Each time information is entered, adjustments concerning total scholarship expenditures and variances between budget allocations and scholarship expenditures are made. The computer program is a good tool for the athletic business manager in justifying, maintaining, and controlling scholarship costs. The program is capable of generating numerous financial reports. The financial reports may aid the athletic business manager and the A.D. in developing budgets for future athletic scholarships.
