Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

Submittable has been helpful in implementing educator grants and scholarships for the college students within our program. A challenge that our organization faces is not being able to directly pay educators due to our partnership with the District. This means we have to go through their financial system and because of this Submittable has been instrumental in allowing us to communicate vital information in a professional, efficient and productive manner.

Pros

  • Response Templates
  • Tutorial videos
  • Reports

Cons

  • More fields in the eligibility form would be helpful. Such as including a text box for applicants.
  • More 1:1 training without it being cost prohibitive.
  • I'd love to be able to move the initial forms like I'm able to do for the live projects.
  • Overall time savings
  • Some missed communication because emails from Submittable tend to go to Spam
  • Detailed reporting
I will say that Submittable is useful if the user knows how to implement it. Even with the tutorials provided and some of the training, real life projects can be confusing to build. Therefore, I would love more 1:1 affordable training and perhaps some ability to have Submittable experts to review projects before they go live.
I would say so. Due to Submittable having functionalities that allows us to keep applications anonymous it provides the grantees the ability to keep the process equitable and fair. In addition, the grantees know that everyone has to go through the same process, which transparency is always appreciated. Submittable can be daunting for those who are not regular grant writers but the platform is user-friendly.
