Build your scholarship and application review portal.

How to build your scholarship and application review portal

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep application criteria, reviewer evidence and award decisions distinct.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the application coordinator records the application and how the qualified application reviewer reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your scholarship and application review portal

• Keep the application in context

  Keep application, criterion, evidence, reviewer, conflict and award decision together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A reviewer declares a conflict with an applicant. Preserve the conflict and reassign review before using their score.

• Keep award decision visible

  Keep a conflict or missing criterion visible for the responsible award reviewer.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the application coordinator a working view and the qualified application reviewer a review view. Keep application and criterion attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
