  1. As a scholarship admin, I want a way to communicate with students about the renewal requirements for an opportunity within the system.
    - can do with email types, but it requires lots of manual work

    As a scholarship admin, I want to remove the human review of follow-up forms to verify renewal eligibility.

    I want to set rules for if a follow-up should be marked complete and if they don't does it kick back to draft, email the students, etc.

    Examples of eligibility criteria for renewal
    - GPA
    - School
    - Major

  2. It would be helpful for SLM to include a spelling/grammar check tool within the scholarship applications for students to use when writing their essays or short answer responses. I know that some internet browsers have a spell check included, but it might be helpful from the student side to have a more comprehensive tool to help with spelling, grammar, etc. as they write their responses.

  3. It would be helpful to have the applicant's name appear on the third-party response form. Currently, it shows the applicant's name on the dashboard, but when the third party clicks on Start to submit the information it only shows the "process" or "award" name. Having the student's name appear at the top of the form would help responders keep track of the student they are working on.

    Some of our third parties complete a LOT of responses and I've heard from many of them that this would be really helpful.

  4. When using the LOI process, there are buttons that say "Save LOI" and "LOI Complete." We use the LOI process for other things than just an LOI, including sponsorship requests. It's confusing to have these buttons when the request isn't an LOI. Would be wonderful if we can customize the language in those buttons. If not, changing those buttons to something more generic like "Save Request" and "Request Complete" would help them be relevant to most scenarios.

  6. On any question type, if you miss a required field and click into the Applicant Opportunities tab to select opp specifics and try to save, there is no warning showing you have missed filling in a required space, the page goes nowhere, nothing occurs.
    Please add a warning of some sort that a required field is missing.

  7. We have long project names for our applications and an automatically generated request ID (example 20240041) that includes the year, would be helpful to identify and search for a specific request, without needing to remember the project name or organization name.

  8. We've had many grant award checks returned for "no receptacle" or "insufficient address" due to the application in GLM auto filling with whatever address was put in when the organization's account was initially set up. Most people will put their physical address in this spot. It would be helpful if when setting up new accounts in GLM both the mailing address and the physical address of an organization were required, then for the mailing address to be the default for the grant application. Any way around this issue?

  10. Please include the ability to select specific fonts throughout the SLM platform, in addition to a button that removes text formatting, so that processes, email templates, and all text experienced from a user can be uniform and consistent.

    I sometimes copy and paste text from other sources, like a Google Doc, Chat GPT, etc. and the platform gives us no way to keep fonts and formatting consistent. This is such a basic feature that really should be implemented ASAP. Thank you!

  11. I've heard more than one client that it would be helpful to have a space in SLM/UA to track the spendable amount of each opportunity (similar to the process budget). The clients would use this question to track amounts awarded against the spendable balance to know "where they are" in the balance. If this could integrate from CSuite, that would be even better, but non-integrated clients have also asked for this so ideally, it's something that needs either option.

  12. It would be very helpful to add an additional one or two column filters to the process, applicant, project name and eval 1 & 2 headings. I have Graduating High School and Applicant ID currently set. I would like to add Student Status and graduating year so I can see at a glance what I need for the applicant. I have to go into the application to get the info I need which can be time consuming.

  13. Within the Universal application, we need two different automatic emails for submission verifications. One for the Universal submission, and one for the opportunity submissions within the Universal. One generic submission verification is confusing to applicants

  15. I would like to request that Foundant implement a change log for the eligibility criteria for the opportunities within a Universe. There is currently no way for us as users or you as the host to track changes made. If there is a mistake or issue, we need to be able to know what was done, when, and by whom.

  16. For the screen in which SLM users input their contact information, please add a drop-down menu for the prefix. Additionally, include instructions reminding users to use proper case when entering their name and address. This will help reduce the amount of cleanup work required by the Foundation.

  17. At BACF we have 11 different committees that review applications based on their funding alignment. Our current process is running a universal application. We then create individual processes for each of our committees, and manually copy applications into the processes for the committees that will review it. For example, we may get a funding request from the American Red Cross that has funding alignment across 3 different committees. I would then manually copy that request into each of the three processes for those committees to review.

    Where this becomes cumbersome is that I have to go into each application individually…

  18. In SLM on the Applicant Opportunities tab in a UA, it would be helpful if the Request column could be sorted. Right now, it just shows one number of total students in that specific opportunity. If you could sort be students who are drafted or submitted, that would be a really helpful feature. This could help scholarship providers market those opportunities with lower numbers much easier than having to pull a report each time.

  19. Please allow for the addition of Folders and Subfolders for uploaded files on the donor portal. Currently we upload documents for the "Documents and Resources" section on the donor portal with no way to organize files at all. The additional organization would enhance the experience for both the internal and external user.

  20. It would be helpful to be able select "Hide Amounts" under Bulk Edit Funds feature. You can select "Hide Memorial Amounts" and "Show History on Portal", but you cannot make a bulk edit for "Hide Amounts". Thank you!
