MISO – Awards
by Electronic File
• The MISO system creates two electronic files of
your awardees every Saturday between 12
midnight and 1 a.m.
• The first file is your award 1 (or 2, or 3) file
showing awards for the current semester/term.
• The second file is your total year file and it
shows the full year award amount for each
student.
• These files are updated and put into your DEG
mailbox for pick up every Monday.
DEG Mailbox
• Data Exchange Gateway (DEG) is the
state of Michigan’s secure mailbox. All
data is encrypted to protect SSNs.
