Introduction to Award and Deny

Award & Deny screen overview [NEW]

Navigation: Scholarships → Award & Deny Tab in secondary menu.

The Award & Deny screen centralizes applicant data in one intuitive place, making it easy for administrators to review, compare, and award scholarships. With flexible filters, sortable columns, and customizable views, it supports fair, consistent decisions—whether you're managing a small fund or a large applicant pool.

This guide will give you an overview of how to navigate and use the screen effectively.

The full app view for a scholarship, with the top-level Scholarships nav item highlighted and the scholarship's own left sub-nav showing Award & Deny selected, above the applicant table with a row per applicant showing their status, name, average reviewer score and amount awarded this cycle.


​Let's dive into the details:
​

  • Applicant table: The page offers administrators a consolidated table of all applied students for a particular scholarship.
    ​
    Each row represents an applicant and displays their status, name, the average reviewer score, and amount awarded this cycle.
    ​

  • Column Picker: Use the Edit Columns button to tailor the applicant table to your needs by selecting which data points to display and in what order.
    ​
    You can include any profile information (e.g., Student ID, email) or question responses (e.g., GPA, major, financial need). This allows you to focus on the most relevant details for your review process and streamline comparisons across applicants.
    ​
    ​

    The Column Settings picker open over the applicant table, with the Application Questions category expanded and the Cumulative GPA checkbox selected and added to the Selected Fields list on the right, demonstrating how a column is chosen.

  • Expand Applicant Details: Click into any row to view a full summary of the student application or view internal notes about the applicant.
    ​
    Certain questions can be pinned and will appear at the top of the response list for every applicant within the scholarship, ensuring consistent visibility and access to the most relevant data.
    ​
    ​Note: Pinned application questions are specific to the scholarship they're pinned to.
    ​
    ​
    ​

    An applicant row expanded on the Award and Deny screen, showing the summary of their application with the Cumulative GPA question pinned to the top of the response list.

  • Scholarship Notes Sidebar: This collapsible sidebar shows important scholarship details like the scholarship description, internal notes, and qualifications to guide your decisions.
    ​
    ​
    ​

    The Scholarship Summary panel open beside the applicant table, showing the scholarship's description, internal notes about award details and eligibility criteria, and its qualifications.

  • Filtering applicants: Custom filters narrow the candidate list to the applicants who meet specific criteria. For example, administrators can filter to show only students majoring in engineering, those with GPAs above 3.5 or applicants who demonstrate financial need. Multiple filters can be combined.
    ​
    ​
    ​

    The Filters Settings panel open over the full Award & Deny page for a scholarship, with the scholarship's own sub-nav (Award & Deny selected) visible behind it, a Create New Filter dropdown on the left, and the Applied Filters panel on the right in its empty resting state—no filters currently applied.

  • Sorting: Click any column header to sort the table. For example, sorting by "average score" shows top-scoring students, while sorting by "amount awarded" highlights those who've received little or no funding—making it easy to spot top candidates or those with the greatest need.
    ​

  • Full Screen View: For a better readability, you can always expand the table area by clicking the Collapse Menu icon
