How students update a scholarship status

userEducator Xello productXello 6-12 Time2 minutes

Once they’ve begun adding scholarships to their Saved scholarships list, students can easily access all their favorite scholarships in one place. This list includes at-a-glance information such as scholarship deadline, amount, and the student’s status for each scholarship.

Students update their own application scholarship status to keep track of the ones they’re interested in, the ones they’ve applied for, and the ones they’ve won.

In your educator account, you can view and run reports on the scholarships your students have saved.

FYIFYI: For more information on running reports, check out Run reports on saved scholarships.

How students update their scholarship status:

  1. From the top menu dropdown, they click the heart to open their saved options. Then they click the saved scholarships button

    • If the scholarship has been made inactive by an educator, the scholarship will be tagged Unavailable for the student. To stop tracking the scholarship, the student clicks Remove from list.

When students select I won, they celebrate with a display of confetti across their screen!
