College Application & Scholarship Tracker - Excel Deadline and Cost Planner

Applying to college means juggling a handful of deadlines, a stack of scholarship applications and a pile of paperwork — often for five or six schools at once. This Excel workbook brings all of it into one place, with deadline colors and totals that update automatically.

Built for high school juniors and seniors (and the parents helping them) managing multiple college and scholarship applications in parallel.

What's included (6 tabs):- College List & Comparison — log every college with its type (Reach, Target or Safety), application plan, deadline, fee and status. The deadline turns red once it has passed and yellow when it falls within 14 days, as long as that application is still open.- Deadline Dashboard — application counts by status, upcoming and overdue deadlines, and scholarship totals, all calculated automatically from the other tabs.- Scholarship Log — track every scholarship with its amount, deadline, requirements and status; totals for the amount applied for and the amount awarded are added up for you.- Documents & Essays Tracker — transcript, essay status and test scores per college, plus a recommendation-letters column that flags Complete once enough letters are in.- Cost Comparison — tuition, room & board, other costs and expected aid per college add up to a total and net cost automatically, with the lowest net cost college called out for you.- Instructions — built into the workbook, no separate guide to lose.

Included in this instant download:- CollegeApplicationScholarshipTracker.xlsx — the full editable workbook (all 6 tabs above)- CollegeApplicationScholarshipTracker-US-Letter.pdf — printable blank deadline/cost comparison grid and an application checklist per college, for US Letter paper- CollegeApplicationScholarshipTracker-A4.pdf — same, for A4 paper

Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc. Only the yellow cells are meant for typing — everything else is protected so the formulas can't break by accident.

This is an organizational template, not a guarantee of admission or financial aid: always confirm deadlines, fees and award amounts directly with each college or scholarship provider.
