Student Information System Integration with AwardSpring
Over 40% of AwardSpring customers take advantage of one of our most powerful features: SIS Integration. So, what does it do? And how does it benefit institutions and scholarship administrators? Learn more below to see why you should add this powerful feature to your subscription to unlock an easier, more trustworthy awarding process.
Maintain Accurate
Student Data
By pulling student data from your backend system, you no longer have to rely on students to provide accurate data during the application process.
Keep Data In Sync Across Multiple Platforms
You can pull information like a student’s major, class schedule, or GPA. Use that data to maintain a student’s scholarship eligibility and you’ll eliminate a few administrative tasks for yourself!
Make Your Application
Process Even Easier
Populating your application with student data points from your SIS can dramatically reduce the time it takes a student to finish applying.
KEY BENEFITS
TIMELY & ACCURATE DATA.
Student data flows in from your Student Information System automatically to AwardSpring on a regular schedule, keeping your information current.
FEWER STEPS FOR STUDENTS.
Any information imported from your SIS reduces the steps necessary for a student to apply, yielding higher application counts.
REDUCED ADMINISTRATIVE TIME.
By pulling in SIS data, you and your reviewers will spend less time verifying information and more time focused on what matters - connecting that award with the most qualified student.
TRUSTED RESULTS.
Layers of guesswork are completely eliminated, allowing you to believe in every single applicant’s data, each reviewer’s score, and ultimately ensuring your award dollars end up right where they belong.
ROOM FOR PROSPECTS.
You will have the flexibility to continue to enter prospective students directly into AwardSpring who may not yet be in your SIS.
INTEGRATION
AWARDSPRING MANAGES THE PROCESS.
Our implementation specialist will help you understand precise milestones and will provide whatever is necessary for your Administrative and IT teams.
SETUP TIME IS MINIMAL.
Because our import process is student-centric and straightforward, we don’t have to bog you and your IT teams down with days or weeks of work.
INFORMATION IS SECURE.
We protect your data in transit and, once imported, your data is protected through best-in-class encryption practices. Our team is trained annually on FERPA and how to properly protect your data in our platform.
DATA FLOW CAN BE MULTI-DIRECTIONAL.
During implementation, just ask us how to get pertinent information from AwardSpring back into your SIS. AwardSpring supports student IDs and FundIDs, making it simple to automatically export award information.
Your Student Information System has a wealth of meaningful, trusted data that can be used during the application cycle. Leverage that information seamlessly to drive results and reduce workload for your administrators, reviews and students, with minimal impact on your IT team.
LEVERAGE EXISTING DATA & PROCESS.
You already have trusted data in your Student Information System, greatly reducing the amount of work a student has to do to apply and giving you faith that data is consistent across platforms.
IT EXTRACTS AND SENDS DATA.
All you need from your IT organization is an IT Pro with an understanding of your SIS and its data. They can work with AwardSpring and your Admin team to properly identify and extract the key data you care about leveraging in your awarding process. This work is usually measured in hours, not days.
AWARDSPRING DRIVES SUCCESS.
We own making sure your IT team understands what data to send and in what format. We also own the testing of that imported data to your specifications and reviewing results with you
to ensure the flow is accurate and timely.
MONITORING AND SUPPORT INCLUDED.
We will also be responsible for the ongoing support and monitoring of your integration process once configured. We’ll work hard to resolve issues on our end before engaging you or your IT team once integration is up and running. This ongoing support is included with your annual subscription fees.
SUPPORTED SIS INTEGRATIONS.
AwardSpring is 'platform agnostic', meaning we can send and receive data to and from systems of all types. For SIS imports, we've imported data across the spectrum—from commonly used platforms like Ellucian's Banner & Colleague and Oracle's PeopleSoft all the way to custom, home-grown SIS platforms.
