For scholarship & grant teams — verification, reports, renewals & thank-yous without the spreadsheet-and-reminder scramble.
The decision email goes out, the announcement posts, and selection season ends. Then the second season starts — the one nobody built a system for.
Enrollment verification. Progress reports. Donor thank-yous. Renewals. Right now it runs on a spreadsheet, a calendar reminder, and follow-up emails to recipients who have already scattered — students off at school, grantees deep in the work, none of them checking their inbox for you.
The short version: the decision isn't the finish line. This session puts the back half of your program on the same footing as selection.
1: How post-award actually runs today — and what quietly slips: unverified enrollment, missing reports, late thank-yous
2: Post-award on a real system — recipient tasks, automated reminders, document collection, status dashboards
3: Renewals as structured cycles — multi-year scholarships and continuing grants tied to prior-year records
4: Plus: the stewardship loop — turning completed reports and thank-yous into the case for next year's funding
