4 minutesEducators with administrator or user level access can add a local scholarship to Xello for students to search and apply for. Keep local scholarships updated and current, and edit previously created scholarships.
You can choose whether to make the scholarship visible to your students right away or to turn off visibility until the scholarship is available for students to apply. If you remove visibility to a scholarship after a student has saved it, the scholarship will then be tagged as Unavailable for the student.
Note: Only those with administrator or user level access can create or make these changes. To learn more about educator access and permissions, read the article on Educator Permissions.
Add a local scholarship

Note: For those with user permission who create a scholarship, it will show only at the high school to which they're assigned.
