We are narrowing down applications for awards & the system allows a concise way to look at the information.

Pros

It was easy to use. I could compare some of the documents & that made it easier to make decisions.

Cons

Some of the documents didn't import correctly.

Great Application Process

SmarterSelect review

Pros

Such a great platform for any sort of scholarship or selection type of program. Very easy to set up your application and review process, very easy to track applicants/applications, very easy for users to submit applications and the best part for me is it's very easy for reviewers to evaluate the applications.

Cons

There are no cons, a great product at a great price.

Smarter Select Review

We are using Smarter Select for Scholarship Applications. It is a great system for this which stores all the applications and information for us until we are ready to process them. We have also branched out a little more this last year to use this software to collect the Scholarship Acceptance Forms, too. Very easy to print them (when necessary) and collect all the information we need to process the scholarship checks!

Pros

The ease of copying a program to use again next year (with a few date changes, etc.) This is a great benefit and saves the user a lot of time!

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to find exactly where to change the wording on a section or page. I have to fumble through this every time but I eventually find the right section to click on to change the information.

Over the years the service level has decreased

Pros

Cost is reasonable - there is not much more here to say about this product. I'd had it for over 5 years and is just not what it used to be.

Cons

Lots of program glitches that consistently occur; can put time-sensitive projects behind. Sometimes the problem if ever resolved, will not be communicated to you. The reports are not easy to manipulate, large, and take forever to be emailed to you.

Smarter Select has been effective to manage our scholarship and grant process.

Smarter Select has been effective to manage our scholarship and grant process.

Pros

Simple to learn, Ability to set up on your own, Flexibility for multiple uses, Low cost Ease of use for volunteers

Cons

There may be less initial set up support than some of the other soft wares, but overall the cost and relative ease of using it make it worthwhile.

It is a great system! I love the customer service!

For our Leadership Development Consultants to apply for the program.

Pros

I absoluetly love how the customer support team will reach back out to you so quickly. Since I am so new to the program it makes it easier when I have questions.

Cons

When I need to edit different parts of the application sometimes it doesn't do what I need it too. I have needed Smarter Select's help with several edits.
