Standalone Scholarships
A standalone scholarship, also referred to as a scholarship process, exists in the Process Manager within the Processes tab in SLM. The standalone scholarships are not connected to other scholarships in the system and may also have different timelines and unique applications, especially compared to the Universal Application. Utilizing a standalone scholarship application is helpful if there are some unique scholarships that should not be included in the universe but still need to have an application in the system.
