Qualification Groups can be configured on a scholarship to capture multiple sets of criteria.
Example: Imagine that you are offering a Business scholarship that would consider any student that is enrolled in a Business major, but requires a GPA of 3.5 or higher. However, your incoming freshmen would not be able to be considered for this scholarship, as they do not have a GPA yet. This is where qualification groups comes in. You can ask your incoming freshmen to report their High School GPA, and create a separate qualification group that requires for their GPA to be higher than or equal to 3.0. This results in two qualification groups being set up for the Business scholarship, and allows you to manage all applicants in one place, instead of across two scholarships (in this case, or more in others).
In order for applicants to match to the scholarship, they need to match fully on one group's qualifications. Depending on the scholarship requirements, a student can match to two groups or more, but one is required in order for them to show in Qualified or Applied status.
Note: You can create up to 4 qualification groups on a scholarship.
How to Configure Qualification Groups
Navigate to the Qualification tab of the scholarship that requires qualification groups to be set up.
Click on 'Add Qualification' to start building the first qualification group (to learn how to add qualification questions, click here). Following the scholarship example mentioned previously - we can add the Academic Status qualification question and select Incoming Freshmen as a qualifier.
Then add the High School GPA question, setting the answer to be greater than or equal to 3.0.
Lastly, add the Major question by clicking 'Add Qualification', and choose the Business major as a qualifier.
The first group is done, we can move on to creating the second qualification group. To do so, first click on 'Add Qualification Group'.
Then search for your Academic Status question, and select all statuses except Incoming Freshmen. Once you've saved the qualification, you'll notice that the second grouping appears.
Under the second qualification group, click on 'Add Qualification' and insert the College GPA question, setting the answer to be greater than or equal to 3.5.
Lastly, click on 'Add Qualification' to add the Major question, and select the Business major as a qualifier.
Voila! You've successfully set up qualification groups on your scholarship!
