Our review path
From application file to reasoned finding
A visible, proportionate process gives applicants fair treatment and committees an assessment they can interrogate.
01 · Define the decision
We start with the scholarship’s financial criteria, application form, consent wording and committee date. Together we identify which questions belong in the financial review and which remain with academic or leadership assessors.
02 · Set the evidence standard
The checklist reflects actual household circumstances. Employed earners, informal traders, grant recipients and self-employed parents may need different records. We state acceptable alternatives where a standard document does not exist.
03 · Review and reconcile
An evaluator maps income sources, dependants and material obligations. Records are compared across the same period. Transfers, once-off receipts and reimbursements are identified so that money is neither omitted nor counted twice.
04 · Ask proportionate questions
Not every discrepancy is material. We pursue questions that could affect the finding, write them plainly and allow the agreed response time. Unanswered issues are recorded without dramatic language.
05 · Write the finding
The report names the documents reviewed, adjustments made, relevant context and limitations. It explains the household’s demonstrated financial position against the scholarship’s criteria.
06 · Support the committee
Where included, the evaluator answers questions about reasoning and comparable treatment. Catalog Servicehub does not vote on the award or replace the committee’s judgement.
Before sending files
Use the enquiry form only to describe the scope. We will confirm a suitable transfer method for records containing bank details, identity numbers or medical information.
