Make your courses reach the people who,need a hand
Some of your best future learners can't afford full price today. Edushade gives you a proper scholarship system to meet them halfway — public listings on your site, a custom application form, an approval flow with notes, custom discount percentages per applicant, and smart revoke policies that protect the offer if someone stops engaging. The spirit of the gesture, with the operational support behind it.
What's actually in the box when you open the scholarship feature
Scholarships in Edushade aren't a coupon code dressed up. They're a full application flow — discovery, form, decision, follow-through — with the right notifications and audit trail at every step. Built for the moment a learner who can't pay finds their way to your platform anyway.
Public Scholarship Listings
Each scholarship has its own public page on your site — title, description, thumbnail, the discount percentage and the eligible programs — so learners can find them and apply.
Custom Application Form
Pair any scholarship with a form built in your form builder. Ask the questions you actually need answered — financial circumstances, motivation, relevant context — without an external tool.
Approve, Reject or Revoke
Each application moves through pending, approved, rejected or revoked. Admins approve with an optional note and a custom percentage, reject with a reason, or revoke when policy says so.
Custom Percentages per Applicant
A scholarship can offer 'up to 50%' rather than a fixed cut, so one applicant might get 30% and another 50% based on what they shared on the form. Both fair, both honest, both on the record.
Smart Revoke Policies
Set rules that protect the spirit of the scholarship — revoke automatically if a quiz score drops below a threshold, or if the learner goes inactive for too long. The discount goes to the learners who actually engage.
Notifications and Bulk Tools
Approval and rejection notifications fire automatically. Bulk export every application as CSV for an audit. Bulk-check eligibility across many applicants at once when an intake is large.
Set up a scholarship that does what you mean
Describe the offer the way you'd describe it out loud — a title, a short reason, a thumbnail, the program it covers, the discount you're giving. Decide whether everyone gets the same percentage or whether you'll choose per applicant. Add a deadline if it's a one-time intake. Hit save, and the scholarship goes live on its own public page — ready to be found by the next learner who needs it.
A real public page — title, story, thumbnail, eligible program
Cover any course, learning path or cohort you offer
Fixed percentage, or 'up to' so you can be flexible
Time-bound? Add start and end dates — it'll sleep on its own
An application flow that respects everyone's time
Learners apply on a form you built — your questions, your tone, your branding. Their answers arrive with the application, not in a separate inbox. You sit down once, see every applicant in one list, read the story behind each one, and decide. No spreadsheet, no email thread, no losing the context of why someone needs help.
Every application carries the full form answers — context never lost
One list, sorted by date or filtered by status — find anyone fast
Search by name when a parent or partner asks for an update
Big intake? Bulk-check eligibility across all applicants at once
Decisions that come with notes, not just buttons
Every yes, no and revoke carries a reason. Approve and add a note — "granted on the strength of the financial questionnaire" — and pick the exact percentage that's right for this learner. Reject with a clear reason. Revoke when you have to, and write down why. Six months later, anyone on your team can open the same application and understand the call you made.
Approve with a note and the percentage that fits this person
Reject with a real reason — kind, clear, on the record
Revoke when you must, with a reason and access controls
A full history log — every decision, who made it, when
Policies that keep scholarships honest
A scholarship is a gift — but it's a gift that says 'show up'. Set the rules once and the platform protects the offer for you. If a learner's quiz scores drop, if they go quiet for weeks, if they fail the gateway test, the scholarship pulls back automatically and the seat opens up for someone who'll use it. The kindness stays. The discipline takes care of itself.
Set rules around quiz scores, inactivity, or failed assessments
Plain conditions: less than, equals, greater than
Revocation happens on its own — no babysitting required
Learners get a clear, kind notification at every step
From a kind idea to a live scholarship — in three steps
It all happens inside the same admin you already use. No coupon codes, no spreadsheets, no extra software. Just describe the offer, ask the right questions, and start saying yes.
Describe the scholarship
Give it a name, a short story, a thumbnail, the program it covers and the discount you're offering. Decide if everyone gets the same percentage or if you'll choose per applicant. Add a deadline if you want it time-bound. The public page goes live the moment you save.
Ask the right questions
Build the application form right next door. Ask what you actually need to know — financial situation, motivation, the context behind the request — in your own words. Save the form, attach it to the scholarship, and applicants will see it the moment they tap apply.
Say yes — kindly, fairly, on the record
Open the applications list and every story is there to read. Approve with a note and the right percentage for this person. Reject kindly when you must, with a real reason. The learner gets the news on the channel they prefer. Every decision goes on the record, exactly as you meant it.
