I'm trying to keep track of all the scholarship applications and deadlines, and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for good software or apps to help stay organized. I'd love to hear about what others are using!
There are indeed several tools that can help you stay organized and always on top of your scholarship applications.
One of them is Trello. It's an app that can assist you in tracking various tasks and deadlines. You can create a board for scholarships where each card represents a different scholarship. Each card can include information like the scholarship amount, requirements, the due date, and more. You can also track your progress on each card, like whether the application is just started, in progress, or submitted. Plus, you can set reminders for upcoming due dates so that you don't miss any deadlines.
If you'd like a more dedicated scholarship tool, you could consider using Appily. It's a free resource that can help you find scholarships that align with your profile, and then help you manage those applications. Their tracker is integrated into your account, and you can easily add scholarships to your tracker, monitor their status, and set alerts for their deadlines.
Finally, a simple yet effective method could be using Google Sheets or Excel to track your scholarships. In one worksheet, you can record the scholarship name, application requirements, deadline, and application status.
Remember to regularly update and check whichever system you decide to use. Stay organized, and good luck with your applications!
