Family applications and needs-based eligibility.
Deciding who qualifies is an eligibility problem: collect the right documents, do the income math the program requires, and produce an award a family, and an auditor, can rely on. SGO Software is that product.
An eligibility engine, not an intake form.
One application, both parents
Both parents get full access to the same application. Manage multiple children, including kids who don't yet qualify, and attribute each to a school.
Document upload
Proof of income (W-2, 1099, tax return, SNAP) and residency (utility bill, driver's license), collected in one place against each applicant.
AI document review
Uploaded documents are read and checked automatically, flagging mismatches before a human reviewer spends time on them.
AMI + 300%-of-poverty math
Area Median Income lookup and the 300%-of-poverty calculation run on the verified figures, returning a preliminary eligibility and award estimate.
A decision the family can see and the auditor can trust.
Once eligibility is set, the family sees what they’re awarded, gets the award letter, and is notified when the scholarship reaches their school, every step recorded against the same ledger that feeds your reporting.
- Preliminary AI approval and a clear award estimate, before final review.
- Award letter and notification generated from the decision, not retyped.
- Confirmation when funds are sent to the school, the family isn't left guessing.
- Pre-registration of applicants, so families are queued before the program opens.
Eligibility is where awards get challenged.
Needs-based programs are audited on whether each award was justified. Document-backed verification and recorded calculations mean every decision can be reconstructed, see the compliance page for how the trail is kept.
