Meet Today's Applicants Where They Already Are

A live session on modernizing your scholarship application for mobile, reducing friction for applicants and judges, and handling AI-assisted essays consistently — without changing your scholarship's mission.

Desktop applications complete at nearly 55%, but mobile completion drops below 48% (Zuko, 2026) — and letting applicants save progress mid-form alone can lift completion by up to 10%. Applicants are increasingly starting on their phones, in short bursts, not sitting down for one long desktop session. Most scholarship applications weren't built for that, and most reviewers still have no consistent way to handle an essay that reads like it was AI-assisted.

This live session is built for staff who manage scholarship, award, or student funding programs. We'll walk through how to modernize the applicant experience — mobile access, account-based applications, simpler navigation — and how to give reviewers a consistent way to handle AI-assisted essays, so your scholarship's process keeps up with its applicants without changing what it's meant to reward.

What You'll Learn

• How to examine your applicants' expectations around mobile access, intuitive digital experiences, and saving progress mid-application
• How to use account-based applications, clear instructions, simple uploads, and straightforward navigation to reduce friction

• How to use technology to create a smoother experience for applicants and judges, instead of adding complexity
• How to use reports and participation data to understand how applicants actually interact with your process
• How Reviewr can modernize the scholarship experience without changing what your scholarship is meant to reward
