With Traditional Scholarship Management

Multiple Systems are Inevitable

Most online scholarship management solutions begin and end with application collection. Tracking, judging and logistics must be handled by hand, via email or on spreadsheets.
Look and Feel is Random

Many scholarship solutions force applicants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This confuses users, and lowers the number of submissions.
Information is Scattershot

Who’s started an application? Who’s completed one? Which judges are finished? Which haven’t started? Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to tell. And if you’re not informed, you can’t make informed decisions.

With OpenWater Application & Review Cloud

One System is All You Need
