Let's Connect

The days of connecting with students via email are quickly coming to a close. Reports say less than 50% of students read emails from their departments and institutions.


Progress the application and awarding process by getting important deadlines to students where you know they'll see it: on their phone.


Send messages to alert students to:


  • Open Application Periods
  • Follow-Up Reminders
  • Emergency Fund Notifications
  • Upcoming Deadlines
  • And more!

Engage Effortlessly

Sending text messages is simple with AwardSpring.

Under the Communication tab:


  • Compose your message in the text box
  • Add recipients' phone numbers
  • Send!

- Messages are limited to 160 characters and our texting service allows up to 14,000 messages at a time.

- Texting functionality will assume a +1 country code for added phone numbers. All recipients outside of the US and Canada will need an added country code

Thoughtful Messaging

Tailoring your message to ensure your applicants are engaged is simple with these best practices:


  • Don't message students about items that they can't act upon day-of. Use texting as an immediate reminder.
  • Create short, concise messages with clear next-steps.
  • Always use a link so students can act on your message.
  • Save space by condensing your institution's name so that it's still recognizable and legitimate. Also, consider using a URL shortening service or remove the HTTPS from you links.
  • Use reports to target the exact group of recipients you'd like to message.
