Built for Journalism Programs and Media Foundations

Whether you're running a university journalism department, a press freedom foundation, or a media industry scholarship program, this template streamlines the entire nomination process. Collect nominee details, parent or guardian media career history, evidence of inherited press freedom values, communication program enrollment verification, and family journalist recommendations—all in one professional, easy-to-complete form.

Why Paperform Is Perfect for Scholarship Nominations

Paperform lets you create scholarship nomination forms that feel personal and professional, not bureaucratic. The doc-style editor makes it simple to add context, tell your program's story, and guide nominators through each section with clear instructions. Conditional logic ensures you only ask relevant follow-up questions, while file upload fields let nominators attach transcripts, writing samples, recommendation letters, and media clips.

Stepper workflows can automate what happens next: route nominations to your review committee, send confirmation emails to nominees and nominators, update your scholarship management database, and trigger reminder emails as deadlines approach. This means less manual coordination and more time focusing on selecting deserving recipients.

With SOC 2 Type II compliance, secure file handling, and the ability to export all submissions for committee review, Paperform gives journalism programs and foundations the professional infrastructure they need to run fair, transparent scholarship processes—without needing a developer or complex database setup.
