I have to say that I have no idea how much this costs or who made the decision, but I got the application up and running and overall it was pretty user friendly

Pros

I was able to figure this out pretty quickly. SOmeone quit and no one knew how to set up our scholarship. the Help chat bot was really great. With the help feature, I coule figure out how to use last year's application and update it. I had to change some questions and that was pretty easy.

Cons

It took a while to figure out how to toggle between the questions and the form but actually it was OK

Amazing platform for what we need

Our overall experience has been a success. Applications are easy to set up and export to our website or whatever platform we need them to export to. Students have an easy way to apply for the different scholarships and grants we offer and we are able to track very easily who has applied, and been awarded for our reporting.

Pros

This platform is easy and manageable for both staff and students

Cons

We do not really have anything we do not like about this software/platform

Generally positive.

Flexibility for different uses. I don't have anything else to say.

We need the capability to partition programs among users in order to protect confidentiality.

Effective and affordable platform!

Over the past year, the team at IAAQLI was able to successfully build out the grant request platform with 6 different application forms for Round 1 of our inaugural grant awards which yielded more than 140 applications. With SmarterSelect, we were able to receive requests and embed evaluator scores; additionally, the platform allowed my small team to sort and review critical data quickly. The SmarterSelect platform was essential to our allocation of nearly $22 million during Round 1!

Pros

The system is highly customizable. The ability to imbed evaluator reviews was a plus. My team enjoyed the online instructional videos from SmarterSelect.

Cons

Please consider adding fillable tables as an application response option.

It works

It works

It works for what we do.

Pros

It was available in the time line we wanted to deploy it. The cost was not out of range for us.

Cons

It's kind of clunky and feels like one step above a green screen. Menus and navigation inside the programs feels confusing.
