A scholarship site is read twice a year in a hurry. A senior in March is looking for a deadline and a list of requirements. A donor in December is looking for assurance that their gift will help a student. If the site makes both easy, you have done most of your job.
Put the deadline where the student looks
The home page opens with the next application window, in dates and in plain language, along with a button to the scholarships list. Each scholarship gets its own short entry: who may apply, the amount you set, the documents needed and where to send them. A quick "am I eligible" checklist saves time for both sides.
Applications can run through a form on the site or through a tool you already use. We connect either, and describe the steps so students know exactly what to prepare.
What each scholarship listing needs
- ✓Eligibility — grade, area, field or other conditions in plain words
- ✓Amount and number offered — as you decide
- ✓Required documents — transcripts, essays or recommendations
- ✓Deadline and timing of decisions
- ✓Contact for questions — a named role or form
Recipients and donors
A recipients page can show who has been supported, with stories published only with consent. Many foundations choose first names and a short quote. If you are not sure, list the scholarships and years instead.
For giving, a monthly gift to a general fund is a simple way for a family to build a named scholarship over time. Explain the fund options and minimums in your own words, and we connect your donation platform for the recurring gift.
Pages to build
- ✓Scholarships — each with requirements and deadline
- ✓How to apply — steps, form or link
- ✓Recipients — stories with consent
- ✓Give — monthly gifts and named funds
- ✓About — board, history and contact
What to expect, honestly
- ✓Selection decisions are yours — the site never implies who will be chosen
- ✓Applicant data lives in your form or tool — handle it carefully
- ✓Gift handling happens on your platform — its fees apply
