How do I search, filter and sort applications?

In the Institution Management Panel, narrow your scholarship applicant pool using your own criteria and review candidates through a need-based system ranking.

Application list

Open the correct scholarship programme and applicant pool first

Applications are assessed within the records of their own scholarship programme. Select the relevant programme in the Institution Management Panel to view only the applicants who applied to that programme.

  • Check the application period and the programme conditions before reviewing applicants.
  • Review the number of applicants, current application statuses and document records.
  • Manage each applicant list and criteria independently when your institution has more than one programme.
  • Only institution administrators with the relevant permission can access application lists.

Filtering

Narrow the applicant list according to your needs

Applications can be filtered using the educational, social and financial information applicants provide in the form. This helps your institution focus on the applicant pool most relevant to its scholarship programme.

Which fields can be used for filtering?

Depending on the programme, you can filter by education level, university, department, year of study, location, academic information, financial and family indicators, social activities, special requirements and other form fields.

Can our institution use its own criteria?

Yes. Platform filters can be used together with your institution’s scholarship rules. You may create separate lists for candidates from a particular university, department, year of study or with a specific requirement.

Does filtering mean an applicant has been rejected?

No. Filtering organises the list for assessment. The final scholarship decision is made through the authorised assessment process of the relevant institution.

Ranking and system score

Use the need-based ranking generated from 129 criteria as an assessment tool

The bursverenler.org system assesses information in the application form using 129 different criteria and generates an automatic, objective preliminary score for each applicant. This score helps institutions review applications on a need-based basis.

  • The system ranking is generated automatically from information supplied in the application form.
  • A score does not mean an applicant has definitely qualified for, or been refused, a scholarship.
  • Institutions should consider the ranking together with their own programme criteria, document review, interviews and committee decisions.
  • The preliminary ranking supports a more organised and comparable review of large application pools.
Final decision

The system produces only an automatic and objective preliminary score. Recipient selection, scholarship amount, quota and all final decisions remain the responsibility of the scholarship-providing institution.

Document and profile review

Review the application form and documents after creating your shortlist

After reviewing the ranking, you can open selected applicants’ forms, goals, written responses and uploaded documents individually. Documents support the accuracy of information provided in the application.

  • Request an explanation or additional documents when there is a difference between a document and the application form.
  • Request original documents where necessary.
  • Use platform messaging and keep communication history on a single screen.
  • Send in-person or online interview invitations through the platform.

Reporting and team review

Export the list you need and support your internal assessment

You can export filtered application records to Excel for institutional analysis, committee review or archive work. Share application information only with authorised people who need it for the scholarship process.
