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.

TipTip: Share this Discover your scholarship options video with your students to help them learn how to navigate their scholarship options (also available in Spanish).

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