Conditional logic ensures they only see relevant questions based on their background, and they can upload documents, detail their legal experience, and articulate their career goals all in one place. The clean, professional design reinforces the seriousness of their application while being mobile-friendly for applicants completing forms on any device.

**For scholarship administrators**, Paperform eliminates the chaos of email attachments, missing documents, and inconsistent application formats. Every submission arrives with the same structure, making side-by-side comparisons effortless. Applications can be automatically routed to different reviewers, organized in your preferred project management tool, or sent to Google Sheets for scoring matrices—all without manual data entry.
