You can set up Synergetic to automatically calculate which students fulfil set criteria and generate a list of the students who will be presented with the award.
Also see Maintaining awards setup data in the System maintenance manual.

How does it work?

Synergetic assigns awards to students based on a points system. When students are allocated a sufficient number of points for fulfilling certain criteria, you can run a user form that assigns them the award.

For example, a Music Half-Colours award may require a student to earn at least 30 points by participating in various musical groups. Students are only assigned the award when they have earned sufficient points.
