Phoenix

Ten thousand applications, one question at a time

How many applicants are still unreviewed with a week to go. Which reviewers are behind. How this cycle’s pool compares with last year’s. Phoenix Copilot works out what to pull, reads every record rather than a sample, and builds the answer from what it found, with the place each figure came from.

It does the work as well as the reading. Add a question to next year’s form, set a renewal condition, move a set of applicants to the next status: describe the outcome and it shows you the result before it lands. The decision on who gets an award stays with your committee.

Who runs scholarships on it

The funds, the eligibility rules and the people you report to change from one kind of scholarship program to the next. The platform underneath them does not have to.

Every scholarship is funded by someone. Donor management and fundraising runs in the same system, so the thank‑you and the impact report come from the award record itself.

  • Universities and colleges

    Institutional scholarships, departmental awards and donor-funded programs, connected to the financial aid system.

  • Community foundations

    Multiple scholarship funds from different donors, endowment tracking and donor stewardship reporting from one place.

  • Corporate and private foundations

    Employee scholarship programs, community investment initiatives and strategic giving with impact measurement.
