Selection Committee Services
The scholarship review process is an important part of any successful scholarship program, but it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive – especially as your scholarship program grows. Alleviate this administrative burden by partnering with Kaleidoscope’s expert Selection Committee who will both organize your review process and personally review and score all applications according to your organization’s criteria.
Most programs rely on volunteers to process and review applications, which requires significant coordination, communication and training. Let us fully manage your review process and take this administrative burden off your plate, thanks to our Selection Committee.
Our expert team will organize the process and review applications based on best practices learned from years in the scholarship and grant community. We can ensure a smooth and positive review process for applicants and clients, with our Selection Committee overseeing every step.
Kaleidoscope follows consistent and fair review practices to eliminate bias. Our reviewers are a neutral third party with no personal affiliation to the students and will judge applicants based solely on the provided criteria, serving as an impartial Selection Committee.
