eligibility quiz
In the eligibility quiz in GLM, the ability to customize a "passing" message like you can customize a "failure" message would be beneficial to make things very clear to applicants that they can move on to the application stage. We had a few organizations last cycle that passed the eligibility quiz but it wasn't entirely clear to them that they were allowed to move onto the next step in the application process.

SLM- Third party account view
SLM request from parents/ caregivers and well as mentors and counselors that it would be helpful if applicants could give them viewable access of the users dashboard. In this request, trusted adults would be able to be added to the account by the user. As third party viewers of the account, they could see which applications have been submitted and when, follow up form due dates and submissions.

amostue@carpenter-foundation.org
Applicants aren't able to access their organization's basic info once the application period has ended. They should be able to go into their account at any time and update their organization's contact info - ie address, phone, website... as well as their organization's contacts. We, as admins, shouldn't have to manage this. Additionally, we have some applicants who have multiple EDs listed in their contacts. They should manage this and remove the outdated ones. Not us. It'd be helpful if they had a tab always available to them in which they can see their organization's contact info and the contacts…

drop the 2 factor verification for the scholarship application process
I am having a hard time getting Latino scholarship applicants because it takes 2 factor verification to get into the system. Most of our Latino students do not have cell phones or computers at home so it is difficult for them to apply

Send denial email when application is denied.
I need a denial email to be sent to the applicant when I hit deny on the application. When the application is approved, an email is sent. But I have to go in and send a separate email after I have denied the request. I don't want to deny a request but forget to notify them!

We have expanded to use this application to our Europe locations. As of right now, the Amount Requested is hard coded to ONLY dollars. Is there any interest in expanding this to other currencies?

Streamlining Third Party Question Groups
Asking an applicant to compose an email to their anonymous third party is an extra step that overcomplicates things. The applicant has to deal with opening up an email interface, copy-pasting a pre-written message, etc. And for what? It's redundant to send the third party an email explaining that they'll be getting another email.
It should work like references on a resume. Provide us with the third party's email address, and we'll contact them ourselves. Simple as.

3rd Party Decline Option:
We have had instances where we are reaching out to 3rd party requests (specifically with LOR) and they refuse to submit a letter on the student's behalf. Would it be possible or beneficial for there to be a decline option in the automated email so the student can find someone else? And yes, we do include strong language to encourage students to talk with teachers/counselors they would like to have submit a letter of recommendation on their behalf.

Printing application & Returning to saved application
From one of our grantees:
When saving application DRAFTS, it would be easier and save us time if the application returned to the question that we were last writing rather than to a separate page where we then need to return to the top of the application page and find the question where we left off.
Also, if we could print the DRAFT applications directly, rather than downloading a PDF first, that would again be a timesaver.

Adding Hyperlink Capability for Applicants
Several applicants have asked how to add hyperlinks to their applications. Please allow hyperlinks on future applications. There is often a character or word count limit for open calls (due to the high submission numbers) and hyperlinks are an invaluable tool for applicants.
5 votesAre you looking for this to be allowed in a text area responses or a separate area for links?

QR Code to direct applicants to a specific grant/scholarship application
Would really like the system to produce QR codes that they could use to direct scholarship applicants and applicants applying for hardship grants to a specific application.

Simple LOI fix to reduce confusion for Applicants
There is a red circle with a backslash icon that appears when applicants try to copy and paste from their LOI to Proposal Application. This icon confuses Applicants because they are in fact able to copy and paste.
I am getting several emails from applicants who don't understand they can still copy and paste. Please delete the confusing red circle backslash icon.

Applicant add rows/columns to table questions
It would be helpful to allow applicants to add rows/columns to tables in the event they need more space than we have built out. The function would need to be made so that the admin could lock rows and columns if needed so that the applicant cannot add fields outside of summary rows, for example.

Suppressing Applicant Name / Project Field in Evaluation
We have 20+ scholarships that want applicant names suppressed from applications in the evaluation process. We have always had the student fill out the "Project Name" field with their name. This year, we had everything setup to suppress applicant details from the evaluators, but did not realize that the "Project Name" cannot be suppressed. We had to manually go in and change every student's name to a code in the Project Name field.
Short of instructing students in the future to not use their name as the project name field, is there any chance the Project Name field could also…

Organization Merge History
From what I can tell, there is no way to indicate if a request is from an organization that was merged into another organization or if it was originally from the final organization. Currently, for applicant funding history (which we provide in a Merge Document) to our grant reviewers, we have to manually go through each request and figure out which was for Org A and which was for Org B. If our current staff ever leave, this knowledge will be lost or buried in the Comments tab. Is there a simple way to see this?

SLM UA Color
We have three SLM UA's that students can apply to and as it currently appears on a student's dashboard, all UA's are in the color blue. Is there a way that each UA has their own color. This will help with an inclusivity for color blindness.

Pop Up Message when clicking on Apply buttons
Our Foundation supports a nonprofit healthcare system. Our Foundations grant both internally to departments to better the patient experience and externally to nonprofit organizations in the communities we serve. Therefore, we have to have an external application process and an internal application process. Multiple times this year, I had applicants moving too fast and not reading which application they were clicking the "Apply" button for and even though the questions weren't making sense, just kept going and submitting. That created a lot of rework for both our operations team and the applicant to copy the content over to the correct…

SLM Comment button position
Perhaps we leave an inordinate amount of comments (?) but it is driving me crazy that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to hit the Add Comment button. Can that show up at the top instead.
Thank you for all your attention.1 vote
