With Traditional Scholarship Management

 

With OpenWater Application & Review Cloud

Multiple Systems are Inevitable

Most online scholarship management solutions begin and end with application collection. Tracking, judging and logistics must be handled by hand, via email or on spreadsheets.

One System is All You Need

With OpenWater Scholarships, all tasks – by application, judges, chairs and administrators – are handled in one unified, fully integrated solution.

Look and Feel is Random

Many scholarship solutions force applicants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This confuses users, and lowers the number of submissions.

Branding is Consistent

When you use OpenWater Scholarships, our team creates a custom-branded upload portal that matches your existing website and visual identity. Users will know they’re in a place they can trust.

Information is Scattershot

Who’s started an application? Who’s completed one? Which judges are finished? Which haven’t started? Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to tell. And if you’re not informed, you can’t make informed decisions.

You’re Always in the Know

OpenWater Scholarships’ advanced analytics capabilities eliminate confusion and simplify internal and external communication. Key reminders are sent automatically, and it’s easy to tell the status of any action item.
