Scholarship application form with transcript and reference letter
A scholarship committee needs to compare like with like. This form asks for the applicant's contact details and date of birth, their school or university and programme, why they should receive the scholarship, their plans after graduation, the household's yearly income, a required transcript, an optional reference letter and a signature.
Who it is for
- Foundations, associations and companies funding scholarships
- Schools and universities with small award schemes
- Clubs that support young members' education
When to use it
Open applications for a defined period and share the link where eligible students will see it. All applications arrive in the same format, with documents attached, so the committee reads them side by side rather than hunting through emails.

The PDF your respondents receive
Each application is a PDF with the answers and the signature. The transcript and the reference letter are stored with the response. Income and school records are sensitive, so limit who has access and delete applications when the process ends.

Questions people ask

- It is optional in this template. Keep it only if your criteria depend on it.
- Can applicants edit after sending?
- No. Applicants cannot change a response after sending it. If they need to correct something, they contact you and you decide what to keep.
