Usecase

Automate Scholarship Reviews: Accurate Decisions in Minutes, Not Months

Most scholarship platforms help you collect and route applications. But when it comes to actually reading essays, reviewing transcripts, and making award decisions, the burden still falls on staff and volunteers. Sopact Sense goes further.

By combining clean-at-source data collection with AI Agents that extract insights from open-ended text and documents, it transforms the review process into a faster, more consistent, and more transparent experience.

Instead of weeks of manual reading, reviewers see clear summaries, rubric-based scoring, and evidence-linked flags in hours. This means more scholarships awarded fairly, with less volunteer fatigue and greater accountability.
