Case Study: Auburn University achieves faster, more efficient scholarship management with AcademicWorks

Auburn University - Customer Case Study

Auburn University needed a better way to manage more than 2,100 scholarship funds, 10,000+ awards, and a complex review process involving dozens of administrators and committees. Before AcademicWorks, the scholarship office relied on paper applications and spreadsheets, which made it difficult to match students to scholarships, review decisions, and identify qualified applicants for restrictive funds.

AcademicWorks implemented a flexible scholarship management system with role-based access, applicant sorting and filtering, automated award import to Banner, and faster donor recognition workflows. The result was a simpler process, a single application for students, increased applications, and a dramatic reduction in processing time from more than a month of 50- to 60-hour workweeks to just two weeks.
