Is Your Scholarship Program Built for the Next Generation of Applicants?

When was your scholarship scoring rubric last rewritten? And does every scholarship you run actually have one? 👇 In this webinar, Reviewr shows scholarship providers how to update their review process for the students applying next. Applicants have changed: some would rather send a short video than write another letter, AI writing tools are a click away, and most students apply to a stack of scholarships at once and expect to know where they stand. Many review processes haven't changed with them. The session is framed through Review Integrity, a five-dimension standard for running a fair, defensible review process, and works through it in five practical moves. It applies just as well to grant and award programs. What you'll see: ✅ How today's applicants have changed: new formats, AI tools, many applications at once, and rubrics written years ago (or not at all) ✅ The questions committees and boards are already asking: "Did the student write this?", "Is this one better or just more polished?", "How do we score a video against an essay?", and "Why did this student win?" ✅ What an outdated process costs: the wrong student, a choice you can't defend, and strong applicants who quietly move on ✅ How to write criteria that reward specifics from the student's life over polished writing ✅ How to weight criteria and share them before the application opens ✅ How to set, state, and get acknowledgment of a clear AI policy before students apply ✅ Why AI detection and AI summaries should prompt a closer look, with people making the final decision ✅ How one weighted scorecard and a normalization report put every format and every judge on the same scale ✅ How automated reminders, confirmations, and status updates keep every applicant informed Plus a full live demo inside Reviewr, including: 🎥 The judge portal, with every assigned submission and score visibility that lets judges catch their own outliers 🎥 Hiding personally identifying information from judges with a simple configuration 🎥 The full submission on the left and the scorecard on the right, with no extra tabs or downloads 🎥 Descriptive rating scales like "Exceeds Expectations" in place of open 1-to-10 ranges 🎥 Point totals and judge comments that make every decision easier to defend Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome and about Reviewr 2:15 Today's topic: scholarships built for the next generation 2:45 Agenda 3:15 When was your scoring rubric last rewritten? 4:30 Your applicants have changed 5:45 What your committee is already asking 6:45 What it costs: the wrong student, a choice you can't defend, students who move on 8:50 Why build-out starts months before the window opens 9:15 Review Integrity: five questions every review process should answer 13:30 Move 1: Write criteria that reward specifics only the student knows 14:15 Written, weighted, and shared up front 15:30 Move 2: Set your AI policy before students apply 17:15 Move 3: AI as a prompt for a closer look, not a verdict 18:15 Move 4: Score every format on one weighted scorecard 19:05 Seeing tough and easy graders with normalized scores 20:15 Move 5: Keep every applicant informed, start to finish 21:15 Recap: five moves for the students applying next 22:30 Live demo: the judge portal and hidden applicant information 24:15 Live demo: submission and scorecard side by side 25:00 Live demo: descriptive rating scales and judge comments 27:00 Q&A and wrap-up The students applying next have changed.
