Administrators and recipients

Finalists, recipients, and closeout

Keep final comparison separate from the award decision, then collect any winner requirements.

1Compare finalists

  2. Open Selected recipients and use its Finalists tab. Filter or sort by scholarship to compare the relevant candidates.
  3. Use Select as recipient there, verify the scholarship and amount, and confirm the award.

2Configure winner closeout

  1. For a shared process, open Scholarship cycles → Winner closeout settings. Enable it and configure the required questions and uploads.
  2. For a different process on one scholarship, use its Winner closeout configuration.
  3. Choose a template and Load template, edit the form, and save it to the scholarship or cycle. Save current form stores a reusable organization template; it does not replace applying the configuration.

3Follow the award through completion

  1. Closeout applies to selected recipients after an award, not merely to candidates recommended or marked as finalists.
  2. Recipients complete their enabled winner tasks in the student portal. Administrators review completion and any submitted documents.
  3. If tasks do not appear, confirm the award exists and closeout is enabled and saved for that scholarship.
