Keep the essay in the form
A textarea with a word range ('300–500 words') beats file uploads for small scholarships — no format chaos, and every essay exports cleanly in the CSV for scoring.

No backend code
No server, API route, or SDK — your Scholarship Application Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Straight to your inbox
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
Copy-paste ready
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Scholarship Application Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
Your Scholarship Application Form, ready to paste.
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
How to add a Scholarship Application Form to your site.
To add a Scholarship Application Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Confirm receipt automatically
The auto-responder tells applicants their application landed and when decisions go out — the two questions every applicant emails about otherwise.
Close on the deadline
Pause the form (Settings → form pause) the morning after the deadline. Late hopefuls see it's closed instead of testing whether 'deadline' was a suggestion.
What's included
What's in this Scholarship Application Form template?
Small scholarships run by clubs and memorial funds still take applications as email attachments, and every review season starts with a volunteer building a spreadsheet from forty differently-formatted PDFs. A form fixes the intake: name, school, graduation year, GPA, and the personal statement arrive identically structured, exportable to one CSV the committee can score. Applicants get a confirmation instead of wondering if the email landed. The essay lives in the submission, not in attachment purgatory.
- Scholarship application — 7 ready-made fields
- HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
- One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and classifier, no CAPTCHA
Where submissions go
Where do your Scholarship Application Form submissions go?
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.
- Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
- Honeypot and spam classifier filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
- Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Scholarship Application Form questions.
View all FAQsCan applicants upload transcripts?
Yes — add a file-upload field (Pro) for transcripts or recommendation letters. For free-tier setups, ask finalists only to email transcripts; it keeps the initial application friction low.
How does the committee review applications?
Export CSV and score in a shared sheet, or invite reviewers to the dashboard. Each submission has every field in the same order, which is the whole battle.
Is student data safe in a form backend?
Submissions are stored encrypted and only reachable from your logged-in dashboard. Don't ask for SSNs or financial-aid details on a public form — name, school, GPA, and essay are the right scope.
Can we run multiple scholarships on one form?
Add a 'Which scholarship?' dropdown and route notifications by answer, or create one form per scholarship — separate forms keep the export files clean, which committees appreciate.
