Capabilities

## What Scholarship Management does

Build custom criteria, match students automatically, and track every decision in real time.

-   ### Scholarship fund setup
    
    Create, configure, and manage every named, endowed, and annual fund in your scholarship portfolio. Restrictions, criteria, and award history in one place.
    
-   ### Application management
    
    Configure application workflows, review queues, and committee scoring. One system from application open to award decision.
    
-   ### Award cycle management
    
    Deadline tracking, award notifications, disbursement scheduling, and documentation, managed through the cycle, not reconstructed after.
    
-   ### Fund utilization monitoring
    
    See in real time what's been awarded, what's at risk, and what's trending toward going unawarded before year-end, not after.
    
-   ### Compliance and audit trail
    
    Award history, decision rationale, reviewer log, and documentation, organized for audit readiness.
    
-   ### SIS integration
    
    Connects to Banner, Colleague, and Workday for enrollment verification, disbursement coordination, and financial reconciliation.
    

## Private, secure, and compliant.

Security is not just a box we check. It defines how we build and run the platform: student records stay under your institution's control, encrypted at rest and in transit, with every access point logged. The work behind these credentials reflects the way we operate every day.

SOC 2 Type II

Independent audit of security, availability, and confidentiality controls, renewed annually.

FERPA

Student education records stay under your institution's control, used only for authorized purposes.

VPAT

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template documenting WCAG conformance, available for ADA Title II and Section 508 procurement review.

## The AwardSpring advantage

Every other tool sees one slice: endowment systems know the balance, donor systems know the gift. AwardSpring sits where funds are actually awarded, so it already knows which funds matched students, which sat idle, and why. That's the difference between knowing a fund's balance and knowing what to do about it.
