I also like that students are allowed to upload supporting documents into the application. > > **Cons**: Our selections criteria and scoring matrix are very complex and don't really synch well with SU's evaluation system. As such, we score our applications separately outside of the system, which isn't all that bad because it's very easy to export the application data to a MS Excel spreadsheet. It would be nice if CF and SU could add a CRM feature to their product so that we can continue tracking student payments while they are receiving funding from our program, and then after they've graduated, keep them in the system for alumni cultivation and communication purposes. > > We received many benefits from Community Force's scholar's united application. It's nice having a robust application portal that can handle many different scholarship funds - all with different application questions and criteria. I highly recommend the software to anyone with small or large scholarship programs. ----- ### "CommunityForce streamelined uur Corporate Scholarship Program Management" — 5.0/5 > **Sabine** | *20 December 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform's automated workflow management has been a game-changer. What previously required countless hours of manual processing now flows seamlessly through customizable review stages. The applicant interface is intuitive, which has significantly reduced support requests from applicants. I particularly appreciate the ability to hide certain applicant demographic data for an unbiased review process and the new AI detection feature - this has been invaluable for our review process. > > **Cons**: Initial setup was intricate, but the implementation and support teams were very responsive and our applications were live by our needed deadline. > > Despite the initial setup, our experience with CommunityForce has been overwhelmingly positive. The platform has brought structure and efficiency to what was once a cumbersome process. We've been able to scale our scholarship program from supporting 50 applicants to over 200 without adding staff, thanks to the automation and streamlined workflows. ----- ### "CommunityForce" — 4.0/5 > **Joyce** | *10 April 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: We found that our users of our scholarship platform found the software was easy to input information and that the technology requirements was not overwhelming. In addition, we found once we learned the system, we, as administrators found it easier to work with. If you have strong skills in technology you will love the autonomy of this system. > > **Cons**: It was not always easy to go into the system to clone the application and then make necessary changes in the new application. It did require a lot of learning and reviewing numerous videos to find the best way to proceed. In all honesty, this was a self service platform and one needed to become very adept at the technology required to fully implement the application platform. In addition, it was not possible to have multiple applications opened, released and tracked simultaneously and easily which was a requirement for our college saving account application. By means of tracking, there was no way to develop student profiles and connect email communication directly to the student that would cover an extended period of time. ----- ### "The Ruth Cheatham Foundation" — 4.0/5 > **Holly** | *27 March 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes our scholarship process easy and efficient. > > **Cons**: The lack of auto assign features during the blind review process. > > It has been a great experience. This our 3rd round and it has been easy. ----- ### "CF and HSSFF" — 4.0/5 > **Leonora** | *24 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have had a great experience with the CF program and the staff who have been very helpful and dedicated to making our process one that works. > > **Cons**: We still need to better understand how to make the criteria give us the names of students who will match the criteria, and have the program work to minimize the manual work our reviewers need to do - we are getting there ... > > Overall - been great - and very accommodating\!\! I have worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] who have been terrific\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/155929/scholars-united?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/155929/scholars-united) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
