How to track fellowship expenses without a spreadsheet
You can track fellowship expenses without a spreadsheet by using a simple tool built for the job: pick a template that matches your award, log each expense with a receipt in seconds, see your remaining budget at a glance, and export a clean report when your funder asks. It removes the formula-wrangling and lost-receipt problems that come with spreadsheets.
Where spreadsheets fall short
Spreadsheets work until they do not. They have no place to keep receipts, no reminders, no budget warnings, and they break the moment a formula goes wrong. For a multi-year fellowship, that fragility is a real risk to your records.
A simpler approach
A purpose-built tracker lets you start from a template that matches your award, attach a receipt to each expense, and watch a budget indicator update automatically. Reporting becomes a one-click export rather than an afternoon of formatting.
