Scholarship Application template
A scholarship application form with the two things committees actually need attached: an official transcript upload and up to two recommendation letters, alongside GPA, program, and a 500–800 word personal statement. File limits are pre-set — one transcript, two letters, 10 MB each — so submissions arrive complete and reviewable.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A foundation awarding a named merit scholarship with a fixed March deadline
- A university department distributing internal awards that need transcripts verified against GPA claims
- A rotary club or community organization running an annual local scholarship
- An employer's dependent-scholarship program collecting applications from employees' college-bound kids
Tips to get more from it
- The transcript upload is limited to one document and the letters upload to two, both capped at 10 MB and restricted to document types — applicants physically cannot send you a zip of miscellany.
- GPA is a number field, so it sorts correctly in the CSV export; committees can rank by GPA in a spreadsheet before reading a single essay.
- The personal statement's description asks for goals and how the scholarship advances them — a sharper prompt than "tell us about yourself," and worth preserving when you edit.
- The recommendation-letter upload is optional by default, accommodating programs where letters arrive separately; make it required in the field editor if letters must come with the application.
Questions people ask
What file types can applicants upload?
The upload fields accept document formats and cap each file at 10 MB — one file for the transcript, up to two for recommendation letters.
How does the committee review applications?
Responses live in the dashboard with uploaded files attached to each submission, and the structured answers export as CSV for scoring in a spreadsheet.
Can applicants save a draft and finish later?
No — submissions complete in one sitting. The welcome screen sets that expectation, so applicants gather their transcript and statement before starting.
