Webinar Highlights:

We’ve seen thousands of scholarships over the years at Reviewr and there is one program that stands out as an innovator in the space and dare we say it, offers what could be considered the “perfect” scholarship workflow. We’ll keep who they are a secret until the webinar 🙂

 

Scholarships can be complex. You potentially offer multiple scholarship opportunities and/or have specific requirements and eligibility.

In this section we explore ways to help bring awareness to opportunities as well as manage eligibility checks to make sure we do not waste applicants time applying for opportunities they are ineligible for, or spending valuable staff time vetting unqualified candidates.

Bonus: We will also introduce a scholarship nomination process as a way to boost marketing efforts and program awareness.

 

 

What if we told you that roughly 30% of applicants start and never finish a scholarship application?

Now what if I told you that with a properly structured submission workflow and conversion tracking we can not only increase volume, but also increase the quality of entries.

In this section we will explore the “ideal” scholarship application that focuses on academic achievements, community impact, personal storytelling, financial needs, and reference requests. We will also explore long term data collection from scholars such as fund disbursements, media releases, and more.

 

Ditch reference letters in favor for reference templates. Bring your scholarship to modern times by lowering the barrier for references while also ensuring consistent data collection that ensures a fair, non-bias, selection process.

 

Who doesn’t love spending their days in spreadsheets, downloading documents, compiling folders, sifting through emails, etc?

Even if you’re a pro in excel – your time is better spent elsewhere. In this portion of the webinar we will discuss areas of opportunity to streamline operations so you can focus less on managing, and more time making an impact and engaging with the community.

 

What if we told you that the energy levels and workload capacity for volunteers and “scholarship judges” dramatically drops after reviewing roughly 15 submissions?

Raise of hands, how many people have their committees reviewing more than 15, or better yet, ALL submissions?

We will explore proven mechanisms and workflows that allow organizations to distribute scholar applications to their team for review that ensures review teams are not overwhelmed while also making sure each scholar is given the opportunity they deserve.

 

Arguably one of the hottest topics – how do we create a review process that ensures the best candidates are selected through a fair, impartial, un-bias, and compliant process?

Easier said than done? No – not really. Learn more about how to redact PII, leverage scoresheets, encourage deliberation, and identify individual “judge tendencies”.

Scholarship applicant profiles are a core component to the Reviewr scholarship management software. Profiles empower scholarship applicants to create and manage their information, centralizing their scholarship journey from the initial application to final selection and more. Profiles enable scholarship applicants to apply to multiple scholarships, submit necessary files and deliverables, add additional content tailored to different program stages of the scholarship process, receive communication, and access scholarship selection results.
 
 

SupplementalDocuments

Supplemental forms are an exciting and innovating new feature to Reviewr. Supplemental forms enable scholarship applicants to either request additional information from external sources or add additional submission forms to their profile for different stages of the scholarship process. Supplemental forms are often used to collect reference requests and transcripts directly from the source. Scholarship applicants can also access their scholarship profile and add dedicated forms/deliverables requested by scholarship providers at different stages of the program.

CommandCenter

Transform your scholarship administration with Reviewr’s Scholarship Manager Dashboard, the command center at the heart of our scholarship management software. Leverage the dashboard for real time monitoring of dates, deadlines, and activities.

Streamline your review process with Reviewr’s dynamic feature for assigning scholarship applicants to review committees, a vital tool within our comprehensive scholarship management software. This feature offers versatile assignment options to accommodate your program’s unique needs, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process. Manually assign individual scholarship applications to specific committee members for a tailored review approach, or utilize groupings to distribute batches of applications efficiently among different reviewers. For a more impartial distribution, leverage the automated assignment system, which randomly allocates a set number of submissions to judges, mitigating potential biases and promoting a fair assessment environment. This assignment flexibility ensures that each application is reviewed thoroughly and fairly, enhancing the integrity and credibility of your scholarship program.
