Scholarship Submission
Sensitive Data
Student data
DraftNote this is a Terry College of Business Process, I selected the Bursar's office as they are the final step in the Scholarship process.

Currently as we're preparing to manage our scholarship submission process we have the issue of being able to collect the needed information for entry. As we bring a scholarship coordinator online we are attempting to streamline the process by having the review and approvals integrated into the submission process. The process will only be available to those that utilize the current information, 99% of the data is non troublesome. The only item we are not able to get around is the 811/810 number. As is the form would be used by internal staff to submit the recipient information for scholarship entry and then be verified by those in the approval path. Currently we are using OneDrive, however that has brought a set of challenges and not everyone is consistent in filling in information. This form would require the information be completed to submit it. At present I have added a safeguard of getting the whole 811/810 number by literally blanking the field after the email notification is sent.

At present we've been testing the form to collect the last 6 of the number, however if we could use the 811/810 number we would be able to move toward our ultimate goal of a portal/page for students to submit their information and be matched using the built in automation to generate the eligible scholarships. This would increase our ability to support our students with our donors dollars. At present we have approximately 200 or more scholarships, so we're trying to identify a better way to manage this while having the maximum reach.
