Scholarship Commons vs SurveyMonkey

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.

SurveyMonkey is a platform for creating surveys, forms and quizzes, with response analytics, logic branching, custom branding and API access.

Free iOS and Android apps support survey creation and checking recent results; each user may register up to two devices at a time. Paid plans may charge ₹5.00 for each response beyond the applicable limit. Enterprise includes Zoom integration, enhanced governance and security, SSO and regional data centers. SurveyMonkey Audience is listed as reaching more than 335 million people across over 130 countries.
