What Happens After You Hit “Apply”: See What’s Cooking Behind the Scenes

Ever applied for over 30 scholarships without knowing what happened to them? Months go by and your inbox is emptier than your wallet after a night out with the crew. Scholarships are a great way to help students like you pay for their education. Still, they can be quite frustrating.

For some of them, you write essays for hours. For others, you spend days filming videos. You hit “apply”, and your application goes into a big black hole. Did anyone actually get your application? Did they read it, review it? When will they choose the winner? Who won it in the end? You never really know.

This can be discouraging. Even though there are thousands of scholarships out there, it’s hard to find the motivation to apply for the next one when you have heard nothing about the previous 30 you applied for.

Well, not anymore. You can now see exactly what happens once you do all that hard work and apply for a scholarship. Also, you can rest assured that you’re applying for legit scholarships and not wasting the time you could spend on studying.

To cut to the chase…

We understand how frustrating it is to spend hours working on a scholarship, and then hear nothing but crickets in response. To help you get through this waiting period, the ScholarshipOwl team just made a complete overhaul of the “submitted” area of your scholarship applications.

Why is this a big deal for you?

If you’ve been spending hours every week applying for scholarships but you haven’t won anything yet, this is the right stuff to get your motivation back.

If you were creating your own spreadsheets to save information about deadlines, amounts, recurrence, etc. because it would all be lost once you submit the application – that’s not going to happen anymore. For each scholarship you applied for, you’ll still be able to see all the relevant details.

Last but not least, you can now see when the winner will be selected, and often even who the winners are!

You no longer have to wonder what happens once your application is submitted. You no longer have to worry if your application even made it to the right people. Just log into your dashboard and you’ll see what happened with each and every one of your applications.
Here’s the overview of your new ScholarshipOwl submitted area:

1. Scholarship Info Included To Submitted Cards

By quickly browsing through all of your submitted applications, you can see the basic info including the award amount and deadline. You can also check the status of your application, and the info about winner selection. For each scholarship you applied for, you’ll be able to see additional information. You can see the amount and deadline, so you have all the right info in one spot.

2. Winner Information Added to Your Submitted Applications

For each of your scholarships, you can see exactly when the winner will be announced.

Not only that, but you can see the name of the winner and their photo, ensuring that it’s a real, actual person who won. Once you click on the photo of this person, you’ll be sent to the testimonials page. Here, you can read what other students have said about this scholarship.

3. And Even More Extra Goodies

There is even more new stuff added. For your submitted scholarships, you can now see:
– The credibility (on a scale from 0 to 100)
– The deadline for applying
– The recurrence (how often the scholarship repeats itself)
– The award amount
– The requirements
– The final number of applicants

All of this will allow you to have better insights into what you applied for and how good your chances are for winning the scholarship.

4. New Sorting

You can now sort your submitted applications according to their status. You can sort applications according to two criteria – most recent (the last scholarship you applied for) and status update (the most recently updated scholarship you applied for).

We hope you’ll find these additions useful and that you’ll have fun going through them as much as we did when we made them. If you haven’t applied for a scholarship yet, this is as good a time as ever! We wish you to see your name and photo among selected winners soon!
