Verification policy
Scholarship Signal labels records according to the strength of the official-source evidence available.
Official source checked
The program or cycle was checked against an official government, university, foundation or program source.
Fully verified
Critical fields such as cycle identity, deadline, funding, eligibility and application route have sufficient evidence and freshness.
Country-specific information
When deadlines vary by embassy, constituency or country, the record is labelled accordingly instead of displaying one universal deadline.
Freshness
Public records show the latest source-check date and the next scheduled review. Overdue, changed-source and passed-deadline states carry an explicit warning instead of a misleading recent-verification label.
How verification works
Scholarship Signal runs its own source monitoring and verification system. It monitors official provider pages, detects changes and assembles the evidence behind each record, so every published fact can be traced to the source it came from.
