What a scholarship foundation website needs to do
Scholarship pages work when eligibility and dates are impossible to miss. Applicants scan for requirements, so list them plainly and show a calendar. A separate page for donors and a page for past recipients tells the broader story.
Applications are handled in the tool you already use; we link to it and display the dates. We do not build applicant portals or store student records on the site.
People searching for a scholarship foundation usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Check eligibility
Plain requirements
Apply
Link to your application
See deadlines
Calendar
Give
Donations and named funds
Timing matters. Application windows and graduation season bring the heaviest traffic.
The pages a scholarship foundation website needs
A scholarship foundation site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with open scholarships
- ✓Scholarships — each with requirements
- ✓How to apply — steps and dates
- ✓Recipients — stories with consent
- ✓Give — donors and fund options
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on scholarship foundation websites
- ✓Buried deadlines
- ✓Vague eligibility
- ✓No donor information
Getting found: SEO basics for a scholarship foundation
- ✓Name each scholarship — "scholarship for nursing students in your state"
- ✓Eligibility in text — matches qualification searches
- ✓Deadlines on the page — matches date searches
