COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS

Scholarship management for community foundations.

When a foundation manages several scholarship funds, one student may qualify for multiple opportunities—but each fund still has its own requirements and decision process.
Request information

MULTI-FUND ADMINISTRATION

Reuse the core application, preserve the differences.

Connect a shared application to suitable scholarships. Use additional opt-in questions when a fund needs more information, and assign its committee separately.
  • Scholarship-specific settings, recipient slots, and staff-verified eligibility
  • Optional scholarship questions within the core form
  • Reviewer assignments specific to each opportunity
  • Finalists, recipients, and amounts organized by scholarship

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A local foundation with several donor-funded awards.

For example, a student completes the foundation’s shared application and chooses an optional healthcare scholarship section. Staff check the fund’s criteria and review the additional essay. A separate committee can evaluate the same core record for a community-service scholarship connected to that form.
  • The healthcare committee reviews its assigned applicants
  • The community-service committee records separate evaluations
  • Administrators compare finalists within each fund
  • Award exports preserve the scholarship associated with each recipient

A FEW MORE DETAILS

Before you get started

Must every fund use the same application form?

No. A foundation can create separate forms for different applicant groups. Each form has its own invitation route and can connect to the appropriate scholarships.
