Scholarship Commons
Scholarship Commons is a web-based service for managing scholarship processes online, from discovery and applications through evaluation and selection. It connects students, scholarship operating organizations, reviewers, and recommenders. The service automates sorting and compiling submitted documents, as well as online entry and delivery of evaluation work. Scholarship information is organized into six types, each with standardized workflows. The maker says scholarship work data is stored in the cloud for reuse and that digitized, standardized information can support big data analysis. Intended organizational customers include universities, scholarship foundations, local governments, public and nonprofit organizations, companies, and asset owners. Students, reviewers, and recommenders have a free membership plan with all features listed. Operating organizations must contact Scholarship Commons to register; their paid membership pricing is available by inquiry and can include customized scholarship posting and management. The service is optimized for Chrome. The site provides a contact form and lists [email protected] as its representative email address.
