Hello! I am curious to learn about other foundation’s scholarship acceptance workflow to see if there’s a way to simplify my foundation’s scholarship acceptance workflow. Currently, they have a two-step process. First, the student signs a scholarship agreement, which confirms they are still attending college. I use…
