We only have a follow up assigned for the end of each school year where we ask for a copy of their transcript and ask them to explain how this scholarship helped/supported them. We use this information for eligibility for future scholarships (they have to have submitted the report in order to be eligible) and we share this information with donors as a feel good (look what your scholarship did!) and because donors will sometimes ask if their past recipient completed the year.

This is the first year we are having evaluators review and evaluate scholarship applications online.

1. Would anyone be willing to share correspondence sent to committees introducing first time online evaluations? (Example emails, instructions, etc.)
2. In the past staff has created a cover sheet and attached all supplemental documentation along with an evaluation form that is sent to all committees. Now that we are going online we are struggling as to what we should provide them. Once committee members evaluate their particular scholarship applications, our committees then meet in person.
3. Are your committee members responsible for printing all documentation to bring to meetings or do you provide a report of some kind (average evaluation scores, etc.) that they can use at the meeting? Examples of what you provide to committees would be extremely helpful.
