Purpose-built scholarship administration for organizations serving families and K–12 schools. Designed to simplify application intake, household need assessment, human-governed awards, school coordination, and responsible stewardship.
Planned program-specific intake, renewal workflows, financial-document review, and consent-governed exchange.
Eligibility & award decisions
Separate statutory eligibility rules from financial-need formulas and preserve final award authority with the SGO.
School connection & accountability
Planned enrollment and eligible-charge validation, noncash award tracking, reconciliation, and audit reporting.
How the intended workflow connects
01
Family applies
Applicants provide the information required by their specific scholarship program.
02
SGO verifies
Authorized grantor personnel assess eligibility and the required evidence.
03
SGO decides
Reviewers determine awards according to approved rules and available funds.
04
School confirms
Participating schools attest to enrollment and qualifying tuition or expense information.
05
SGO funds
Only the SGO and its approved payment providers authorize actual fund movement.
06
Both reconcile
Award commitments, verified payments, student accounts, exceptions, and reporting are reconciled.
Built for scholarship administrators
Designed for existing state scholarship administrators, qualifying future federal SGOs, and independently managed scholarship programs. Configurable, SGO-approved financial-need assessments and program-specific eligibility policies help reduce duplicate administrative work while preserving the grantor’s authority over awards and funds.
SGO DESIGN & PILOT PARTNERSHIPS
Help shape the scholarship platform SGOs need.
Arete Advisory Group is inviting scholarship-granting organizations to share operational requirements and discuss controlled pilot opportunities. Start with a no-cost conversation about your application process, review requirements, and school coordination. Pilot scope, timing, and any costs are agreed separately in writing.
