![](https://blog.applicaa.com/hubfs/BursaryPlus%20Hero%20Option%20A.png) **You already know how bursaries and scholarships work. The hard part is running the process at volume without it taking over your term.** Spreadsheets, email threads, chased paperwork and inconsistent decisions are where fee assistance quietly goes wrong. Bursary+ is built to fix exactly that. ## Make every decision consistent and defensible Set your means-testing parameters once and let the Bursary+ calculator apply them the same way to every application. No more judgement calls that are hard to explain later, and a clear, auditable rationale behind each award. ## Stop chasing paperwork Parents apply online through smart templates in their chosen language, and upload income evidence straight into their own secure portal. They can see exactly where their application is, so your team fields fewer "has it arrived?" emails and spends less time collecting documents. ## Handle sensitive cases with care Separated families can submit their financial information confidentially and independently of each other, so you get what you need for a fair assessment without awkward workarounds. ## Take the pain out of renewals Filter and flag every application due for renewal, then invite those families to resubmit with last year's data pre-populated. What used to be an annual scramble becomes a few clicks. ## See your spend before it is spent Live dashboards and remaining-budget tracking show where your fee-assistance budget stands at any moment, with every action logged and time-stamped and exportable PDFs ready for governors and finance. ## One process, joined to admissions Because Bursary+ sits alongside Admissions+, families who have already applied are not asked to enter their details again to be assessed. Less duplication for you, a smoother experience for them, and one complete record from enquiry to award. Want to see it against your own process?
