External Appointments in GAP

External Appointment data covers funding that is not processed by the Institute and sent directly to the student and/or as sponsored billing payments. This data allows for better understanding of funding that comes from outside of the Institute and helps us understand the current funding landscape. The Outside Funding section for External Appointments includes options for reporting Sponsored or Self Supported funding for graduate students. These selections will provide better data to help us identify students in need of financial assistance.

All fields are mandatory in this section.
