How it works
From application to school payment, step by step
The process is the same for every family. You can see exactly where your application is at any time.
Step 1: Apply
A parent or guardian creates an account, enters the school fees, and uploads the fee invoice and the child's report card. Drafts save as you go.
Step 2: Review
Our reviewers assess eligibility and verify the school and fee information. If anything is missing, we ask you through your account.
Step 3: Decision
Approved applications receive the full amount of the grant plan the family picked. You are notified of every decision.
Step 4: Grant paid
We pay the grant into the account you chose (the school's or yours). You upload the school's receipt, and good results keep your child on the plan.
Tracking
What each status means
When you sign in, your application shows one of these statuses. We email you whenever it changes in a way that needs your attention.
- Draft
- You have started an application but not submitted it. You can come back to it at any time.
- Submitted
- We have received your application. You will receive a reference number by email.
- Under review
- A reviewer is checking eligibility and verifying the school and fee details.
- Information requested
- We need something more from you. You will be told exactly what, and can respond from your account.
- On hold
- Review is paused, for example while we wait for a school to confirm details.
- Approved
- Your child has joined our scholarship plan. We pay the grant into the account you provided soon after.
- Declined
- Your application did not meet the criteria this time. You will be given the reason.
- Grant paid
- The grant has been paid into the account you provided. Please upload the school's receipt within 14 days.
Payments
How payments and the plan work
You choose which account we pay: the school's, or your own. Either way, the grant is for school fees, and staying on the plan depends on good results and receipts.
- We check the account name with the bank before any payment is made.
- If we pay you, you pay the school and upload its receipt within 14 days.
- We ask for each new report card. Keeping up good results keeps your child on the plan.
- A payment is only marked as paid once it has been confirmed. If a transfer fails, we let you know.
