Manage scholarships with care.
The end-to-end platform foundations use to run scholarship programs — application through disbursement.
See BrightAccess in motion.
Watch a quick walkthrough of how foundations manage applications, review workflows, and award decisions in one place.
One workspace for every scholarship cycle.
Track applications, reviewer progress, program activity, and award workflows from a dashboard built around foundation operations.
End-to-end, from application to disbursement.
The same system runs your application form, your reviewer dashboard, your award decisions, and your banking workflows. Nothing leaves the audit trail.
Create
Build the application your scholarship actually needs. Set screening criteria, essay prompts, document uploads, and review rubrics.
Review
Invite reviewers, calibrate scoring, run AI-assisted checks, and make decisions you can defend with a complete audit trail.
Award
Verify banking details, schedule disbursements, generate tax receipts, and report on real outcomes for your recipients.
Built for the people running the program.
Forms, reviews, AI assistance, banking, reporting, integrations — one platform, not a stack of separate tools held together by spreadsheets.
AI-assisted review
Semantic search, duplicate detection, and outlier flags help reviewers focus on the applications that need real attention.
Form builder
Drag-and-drop form creation with optional AI suggestions. Screening questions, essays, file uploads, video — all in one schema.
Data migration
Bring years of historical recipient data in from CSV or Excel. Column mapping, validation, and audit trail included.
Fraud signals
Writing analytics and document verification surface authenticity concerns without flattening every flagged applicant.
Reviewer workflows
Assign applications, calibrate rubrics, support blind review, and track reviewer progress in real time.
Demographics & impact
Track applicant diversity and program outcomes. Generate the compliance reports your stakeholders need.
Programs & cycles
Support recurring multi-year programs and standalone scholarships under one umbrella with shared rubrics.
Integrations
Connect to Salesforce, export to your CRM, and integrate with the foundation workflows you already run.
Less time sorting,
more time on the applicants who matter.
Our AI augments your reviewers — it doesn't replace them. Semantic search, duplicate detection, and outlier flags help you focus, with every suggestion traceable back to the source.
Semantic search
Find applications by meaning, not just keywords. Ask in plain English.
Application clustering
Automatically group similar applications to surface patterns and themes.
Outlier detection
Identify applications that fall outside the norm and may deserve a second look.
Track the metrics that matter to your foundation — and the ones your funders ask about every quarter.
