Case Study: Collin College achieves a faster, more efficient scholarship process with AcademicWorks

Collin College - Customer Case Study

Collin College, in Plano, Texas, needed to replace a highly manual scholarship application process that used a homebuilt online system followed by printed applications, in-person scoring, and manual award matching. The process was time consuming and difficult to complete efficiently, especially as the college managed a large enrollment of 53,000 students.

AcademicWorks provided a unified scholarship management solution integrated with Banner by Ellucian. Collin College implemented AcademicWorks in just 6–8 weeks, and the new system streamlined applications and reviews, improved flexibility for reviewers, and made the process easier for students. As a result, the college reported a very smooth scholarship cycle and tripled the number of scholarship applications received.
