Scholva Alumni Network

Overview

Scholva combines an alumni directory with tools for events, mentorship, giving and degree verification. Graduates can update their own profiles, and schools can populate the network as students graduate or bring in historical alumni by CSV or email invitation. That mix helps institutions build a persistent graduate community rather than manage separate lists for each activity.

The alumni module connects with Scholva Academics for graduate intake, Fee Management for donation processing, and Communication for newsletters and announcements. Razorpay supports cards, UPI, net banking and wallets. These connections make the product a more natural fit for schools already using Scholva; institutions looking only for an independent alumni tool may find less benefit in the integrated approach.

Key features

Directory, events and mentorship

Alumni are searchable by batch, profession or location, and can maintain their own profiles. Schools can organize reunions and networking events, send invitations, track RSVPs and share photos. Suggested student-alumni matches use interests and goals, with coordinators approving matches before they proceed. Together, these features support both routine community-building and structured mentoring, though the match suggestions remain subject to staff review.

Giving and verification

Donation tracking provides campaign-progress dashboards and automatic tax receipts, with Scholva routing donations through Razorpay. Each alumni profile also gets a unique link employers can use to verify degree authenticity online. The verification links offer a direct credential check, while fundraising tools are useful for institutions that already engage alumni as donors.

Administration and safeguards

New graduates can be added automatically; historical records can be imported from CSV or Excel, with a dry run that flags problems before saving. Scholva encrypts stored data with AES-256 and connections with TLS 1.3. Role-based access control includes more than 50 permissions and a full audit trail. Data is hosted in India on SOC 2 certified infrastructure; enterprise plans offer dedicated instances. Daily backups are retained for 30 days, with point-in-time recovery and quarterly disaster-recovery testing. This gives institutions substantial administrative controls and recovery provisions, while the dedicated-instance option is reserved for enterprise plans.

Pricing

Scholva uses a freemium model and offers a free trial. Its Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and covers up to 200 students. It includes event management, mentoring programs, fundraising tools, community spaces, a mobile app, email campaigns and engagement analytics. That is a broad starting set for a small institution, but the student cap is the key limit for schools with larger graduate communities. The supplied plan details do not establish a paid tier’s price or terms; plans beyond Free have custom pricing.

Platforms

Scholva supports Android and web, and the Free plan includes a mobile app. Institutions can also manage their alumni activity through the web platform.

Who it's for

Scholva is designed for K-12 schools, colleges and coaching institutes, with a focus on Indian education. It is most compelling for institutions that want alumni records, events, fundraising and verification connected to Scholva’s academic, fee and communications modules. A community of up to 200 students can start on the free tier; larger institutions should weigh the cap and custom pricing against their needs.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plan combines events, mentoring, fundraising, community spaces, email campaigns and analytics for up to 200 students, giving smaller institutions several alumni workflows in one place.
• Pros: Self-updating profiles, CSV and Excel imports with a pre-save dry run, and automatic graduate intake help reduce friction in keeping records current.
• Pros: Degree-verification links, donation receipts and campaign dashboards address concrete institutional needs beyond basic networking.
• Pros: India-based hosting, granular permissions, audit trails and tested recovery measures provide meaningful administrative safeguards.
• Cons: The free tier stops at 200 students, a meaningful ceiling for established institutions with larger alumni groups.
• Cons: Scholva's clearest advantage is its connection to other Scholva modules, so schools seeking a standalone alumni platform may have less reason to choose it.
• Cons: Paid plans use custom pricing, making it harder to assess costs for an institution that outgrows Free.

Alternatives

Browse the Alumni Management Software category to compare options. AlumniMS is another freemium web option with a free plan capped at 100 members; its free offering includes 15 platform modules, a custom subdomain and basic analytics, but excludes a custom domain and priority support. Feending offers a free web and API plan with unlimited users but one administrator, a different fit for teams prioritizing a larger user allowance over multiple admins. AlmaShines offers Android, iOS and web access and has a Booster plan at 1199.00 USD per year for up to five admins and 3,000 alumni, making it worth considering when a larger stated community limit matters more than a free entry tier. Alumnly is a paid Android, iOS and web alternative with a Starter plan at 199.00 USD per year, billed annually with no multi-year contract. PeopleGrove Engagement Hub is a paid web alternative. Alumbook offers Android, iOS and web access, with a Complete Alumni Platform plan at 199.00 USD per month for up to 1,000 alumni users. Alumn-us is a web option with custom pricing. EverTrue is a paid Android, iOS and web option; its alumni-relations product requires a demo to request a quote.

Verdict

Scholva Alumni Network is a strong fit for Indian education institutions that want graduate engagement, giving and degree checks tied to school operations, especially those with no more than 200 students to cover on the free tier. Its integrated workflows and substantive administrative controls are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if your alumni community exceeds the free cap and predictable published pricing is essential, or if you need a standalone platform rather than a Scholva-connected module.
