Scholarship program portal
A scholarship program portal is where students apply for scholarships, a committee reviews each application, and the coordinator moves applications through review to an award or a decline. Each student sees where their own application stands.
Pattern: RequestsDescribe it to Pory
“Students apply for one of our three scholarships, a volunteer committee reviews every application, and our coordinator awards the winners.”

What is a scholarship program portal?
A scholarship program portal is where students apply for scholarships, a committee reviews each application, and the coordinator moves applications through review to an award or a decline. Each student sees where their own application stands. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (student, committee member and coordinator) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited students.
What it does
Students send one application per scholarship, essay and all
Applications used to arrive as a PDF form with the essay in a separate email, and the coordinator matched them up by surname. In Pory a student picks the scholarship, adds their school and what they plan to study, and writes their personal statement in the same form. Every application arrives whole, with the student's name already on it.
Forms to submit a recordDone by: Student
The coordinator drags applications from committee review to finalist
Knowing which applications the committee had finished meant a colour-coded spreadsheet only one person understood. The coordinator sees every application as a card under Committee review, Finalist, Awarded or Declined, and drags it along as the committee's reviews come in. Anyone on the team can see how far the round has got without asking.
Board by statusDone by: Coordinator
Winners are awarded with a note, and declines say why
Telling forty students the outcome used to take a mail merge and a nervous afternoon. The coordinator opens an application, reads the committee's reviews on it, and awards or declines, writing the reason on the record. A student who missed out gets a real answer, and the coordinator isn't rewriting it from memory in November.
Approve / reject with a reasonDone by: Coordinator
Students check their own application instead of emailing the office
Between the deadline and the results, the scholarships inbox used to be mostly "did you get my essay?" Each student signs in and sees only their own applications, and whether each one is with the committee, a finalist or decided. The office answers the question once, on the page, instead of forty times.

The parts every portal is built from
Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.
Collect
Forms
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
Public pages
An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
Self sign-up
People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.
File attachments
Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decide
Approve / reject with a reason
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
Status tracker
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Board by status
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
Checklists
Task lists ticked off per record, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.
Assign to a person
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
Notes & scores
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.
Reminders by date
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Share
Tables
Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.
People directory
Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.
Calendar
Records on a month or week view, by date.
Gallery & image grid
Records as cards or photos.
Record pop-up & linked records
A shareable pop-up with a record's details and what's linked to it. Edit, change status, or add a linked record from there.
Notices & info pages
Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.
Counts, totals & averages
Live figures over the rows a viewer is allowed to read.
Control
Role & row access
Own, assigned, managed, and team rows; hidden fields per role. Generated from your description, not configured field by field.
No-Password Doors
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your brand
Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
On purpose
Four things Pory won’t do
A portal runs a program, a service, or a process. These jobs belong to tools built for them, and Pory keeps the records around them instead.
Take payments
Pory tracks who owes what and who has paid. It doesn't collect the money — keep your payment tool for that.
Book time slots
Availability, capacity, time zones, and reschedules are a whole product. Pory holds what happens after the booking.
Host the conversation
No feeds, threads, likes, or polls. A note on a record, yes; a forum, no. Where members talk is another tool's job.
Plan routes
Pory keeps the service record, not the map.
