If your financial aid status says unsatisfied requirements, this means that the Financial Aid office needs additional information and/or documents before they will be able to process an award. Click on Student Requirements to fulfill those requirements and be awarded.
If your financial aid status says that you have awarded, this means that the Financial Aid office has awarded you for the selected year. Click on Awarded to accept your financial aid and proceed to the next step.
