What Scholarship Manager is
Scholarship Manager is a web-based, cloud-hosted platform for higher education institutions handling scholarship applications, reviews, awards, and reporting. Students can search for scholarships they qualify for and submit one application to multiple programs. Administrators can match applicants with student information system data, monitor renewable awards, enforce budgets and need-based limits, and prevent duplicate winners. More than 100 built-in reports help examine multi-year trends and scholarship program impact, while audit trails support transparency and compliance. Donors can view recipient profiles and fund activity, and institutions can prepare impact reports and manage thank-you letters. An API keeps application, award, and student information current with the institution’s student information system. Students, reviewers, and donors can use single sign-on, validated logins, or direct access. Hosting removes customer server management and software updates, with enterprise-level security described by Next Gen. Pricing is on request, and the product page invites institutions to request a live demo.
