Institutions We Serve: 4-Year Colleges & Universities

Traditional colleges and universities often have large student bodies and complex scholarship programs, so our scholarship management solution can make life a lot easier for everyone involved. Admins at four-year colleges that use AwardSpring report that the platform makes it possible to centralize and streamline a host of processes, saving time, effort, and expense.

Here are just a few of the specific ways our solution has helped our college and university administrator customers:

• Improved retention & enrollment: Our easy-to-use student application reduces barriers to completion, resulting in double the application volume. With a larger pool of qualified students, administrators can award every scholarship available and ensure they have the most attractive admission offer possible. Once enrolled, students with scholarships are more likely to graduate than peers without; data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) shows that students with scholarships have about 15% higher graduation rates.

“We have seen our application numbers grow from the hundreds to the thousands –

and we continue to see an upsurge every year.”

-Taya Flores, Scholarship Director & Student Affairs Senior Financial Officer, Utah State University

• Reduced time spent on scholarship administration by 50%: With AwardSpring, reviewers and administrators spend about 50% less time on scholarship tasks. That significant time savings can be spent on more impactful work, accelerating progress against institutional goals and improving quality of life for employees. Our solution’s dashboard, reports, and review interface all help scholarship admins make faster, better decisions, with no risk of human error.
• Full support for every working environment. From the very beginning, every AwardSpring process was designed to be mobile- and WFH-friendly. That’s been especially useful this year, when many four-year colleges moved to a remote working model. Seamless integration with every Student Information System (SIS) ensures that data is always up-to-date. And if admins ever have a question, our incredible support team is always available to help. Most software support teams are happy to hand over documentation in response to a question, but AwardSpring’s staff goes way beyond that. We’ll actually log into an admin’s account and screen-share exactly how to fix an issue or tackle a task, so that the solution is clearly understood.

“Since we started using AwardSpring, we’ve added 100 scholarships and doubled the money awarded to students,

from $846K to $1.4M – and we no longer have any unused funds.

With AwardSpring, scholarships have gone from being a chore to being a blessing!”

-Tracy Monin, Fiscal Support Analyst & Scholarship Coordinator, University of Arkansas
