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.


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.

  • 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.


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


  • 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.


  • 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 on the "Collapse Menu icon"
