Default Payment Date for Scholarships (& maybe grants)
When adding a scholarship to a fund, it would be extremely helpful to add a default payment date so that every time a scholarship was created, it would automatically populate with that default date. My organization has two different categories of scholarships. We have over 100 "external" scholarship funds (ones that we don't manage the competitive process) that get paid out in late June; and then we have over 60 "internal" scholarship funds (ones that we manage the entire competitive process) that get paid out in late July.
Yes there will always be scholarships that are not paid on either of those dates as that is the nature of scholarships, but essentially we have 2 payment dates that don't change from year to year. This past year we awarded a combined total of almost 600 scholarships and it only continues to decrease. A huge time saver would be to not have to add that payment date every time you enter a new scholarship.
