SmarterSelect makes it easier to manage grant applications
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use this software for the collection of applications for the scholarships that we periodically deliver in the company and we have found it much easier to do it than manually, since the process is all automated, we save on paperwork, and all the management is done in a more transparent way.
Pros
- It has customizable forms, which are adapted to our company, and allows us to make the application form with the exact data we need to know about the applicants. It has a system of questions with multiple choice answers, to make it easier for applicants.
- It allows us to schedule and send interview requests to applicants we feel we need to evaluate in person. These requests are sent by text message or email automatically.
- I also like that each program administrator can log in with their personal username and password and we can log in from any device, either mobile or web version.
Cons
- It is a very complete software, but I wish it could have other integrations, which would allow us to be able to make the scholarship deposits and all the accounting part from the same software.
- Without a doubt I found the software easy to use, but its interface is outdated, it does not look modern visually.
- On a couple of occasions I have had to change the password of my user because I have had problems logging in, I do not know if it is because of the internet connection or a failure of the program.
Likelihood to Recommend
Without a doubt this is a program that I would recommend because of how useful it was for us. Everything is now easier, the applications arrive in one place, everything is automated and the program itself helps us to evaluate the applications faster. I highly recommend it to all companies that provide scholarships.
