Introduction

Reviewers are allocated applications within a review pool to read and score. This score is then used as one of the inputs to the awarding process. Reviewers receive and email notification with a review deadline and a link that takes them directly into the application review.

Sensitive Data


Institutions have the ability to hide sensitive SIS data from groups of users across the entire application. Medium Sensitive Data Managers will have the right to view SIS data and any mapped answers that are flagged as Medium sensitivity. High Sensitive Data Managers will have the right to view SIS data and any mapped answers that are flagged as High sensitivity. Please note that High Sensitivity does not have the right to view Medium sensitive SIS data/mapped answers. If user needs access to both groups, they should be assigned both roles. All ScholarshipUniverse roles have the ability to view Low sensitive SIS data/mapped answers.


  • SIS fields and answers are hidden from any user who does not have sensitivity level for it
  • Answers are masked with a "***" to any user who does not have the sensitivity level for it; this is to show that the question has been answered, but hidden from user
