Why Use Paperform for Scholarship Applications?

Paperform is the ideal platform for educational institutions, foundations, and nonprofit organizations managing scholarship programs. Instead of wrestling with rigid survey tools or cobbling together PDFs and email chains, Paperform gives you a flexible, professional application form that candidates actually want to fill out—and that makes your review process dramatically easier.

With Paperform's document-style editor, you can create an application that flows naturally through personal information, academic background, experience details, essay responses, and recommendations. The conditional logic ensures applicants only see relevant questions based on their background, while file upload fields make it simple to collect transcripts, CVs, and supporting documents in one organized submission.

For scholarship committees and admissions teams, Paperform transforms your review workflow. All applications are stored securely in one place, with powerful filtering and search capabilities. You can export responses to spreadsheets for scoring, share specific submissions with committee members, and use AI Insights to quickly identify common themes across hundreds of essay responses—helping you spot exceptional candidates faster.

Streamline your entire scholarship process by connecting Paperform to your existing tools. Push applications directly into Airtable or Google Sheets for collaborative review, send Slack notifications when high-priority applications arrive, or use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your entire workflow—from initial submission to committee review, interview scheduling, and award notifications. This keeps your team coordinated without manual data entry or status update emails.

Perfect for Peace Studies Programs and Mediation Organizations

This template is specifically designed for:

• Graduate programs in conflict resolution, peace studies, mediation, and restorative justice
• Professional mediation associations offering continuing education scholarships
• Nonprofit organizations focused on peace-building and community conflict resolution
• International development foundations supporting dispute resolution capacity-building
• Law schools and legal clinics with alternative dispute resolution (ADR) specializations

Essay questions are thoughtfully designed to reveal both technical knowledge and the personal commitment that makes exceptional mediators.

Collect Recommendations Without the Back-and-Forth

One of the biggest headaches in scholarship management is collecting mentor recommendations. This template includes a dedicated section for certified mediator mentor information, and you can easily extend it using Paperform's recommendation workflow. Simply collect the mentor's email, then use Stepper or integrations to automatically send them a recommendation form link—no more chasing down letters or managing separate submission systems.

Security and Compliance Built In

Scholarship applications contain sensitive personal and academic information. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready, giving educational institutions the security framework they need for handling applicant data. Role-based permissions let you control who on your team can view applications, while data residency controls ensure information stays where you need it.

Choose from thousands of Google Fonts, customize colors to match your branding, add your logo and program imagery, and even embed the form directly on your website—or host it on a custom domain for a seamless branded experience.
