Our technical college’s scholarship team used to manage everything about our scholarships through Excel spreadsheets and printouts. The review team would actually gather up all of our paper applications and go through them manually.

It was a headache to track everything and virtually impossible to transform our scholarship information into a report. We had trouble retaining reviewers each year because they just didn’t want to participate in that manual process again.

Everything is much easier with AwardSpring. The support has been wonderful.

Here’s just one example: we evaluated our entire process last year and realized that while we were increasing the number or individuals applying for scholarships, we still had a surprising number of unfinished applications. The AwardSpring support team helped me investigate and solve the issue quickly and simply.

I can always get someone on the phone when I need to, and I always get the help I need to truly answer my question. And when I prefer to be self-sufficient, the Help Center has lots of great information and videos.

I’ve really loved the custom reports that AwardSpring has set up for me. The more you use them, the more you realize how much you can track and customize to get exactly what you need.

These reports have become really valuable to our board and financial aid office as they make decisions. Now that report generation is streamlined and electronic, they’re easy for me to provide.

Reviewing is now a lot smoother, takes less time, and is more objective thanks to AwardSpring’s reviewer blinding capabilities, which make it possible to anonymize student applications. Our review team says the experience is like night and day compared to our manual process.

In fact, reviewing is now so easy, the team is happy to do it every single year. There’s so much more to AwardSpring than just the platform; I can rely on them to help me maximize the system to serve my institution better.

The experience has been exactly as advertised and is a total game-changer for anyone still managing scholarships manually!
