Contingency Fund Payments for Foreign Fee-Paying Students in POS
For KAMAR high schools managing foreign fee-paying (FFP) students, contingency funds can be used to pay outstanding payables individually through the Point of Sale page, or in bulk through AutoBuy on the Foreign Fee Paying students page. A School Managed Account must be set up for the student before using either method.

Select the Payer — look for the graduation hat icon, which indicates a School Managed Account.4. Select the payable item you want to pay.5. Under Payment type, select Contingency fund.
