Case Study: Germanna Community College streamlines scholarship management with AcademicWorks

Germanna Community College - Customer Case Study

Germanna Community College in Locust Grove, VA, was managing 70 scholarship funds with paper applications and spreadsheets, which made it difficult for financial aid to verify student information before the semester started. The college turned to AcademicWorks to improve scholarship management and strengthen communication between the financial aid office and the foundation.

AcademicWorks implemented scholarship management technology that helped Germanna promote opportunities, collect applications, and review awards in one system. As a result, the college streamlined the awarding process, increased applications, and completed its scholarship cycle earlier, allowing scholarships to be awarded before the school year began so students could plan financially.
