Case Study: Madison Area Technical College achieves more accurate, timely scholarship management with AcademicWorks

Madison Area Technical College - Customer Case Study

Madison Area Technical College struggled to manage 15 renewable scholarships with spreadsheets, which made it time-consuming for staff to verify student eligibility, track awards, and coordinate funding. The manual process for its 250 scholarships took weeks of work and slowed down scholarship renewals for students.

AcademicWorks implemented a customized award and tracking system that brought scholarship data into one place and imported student records nightly for up-to-date verification. As a result, Madison Area Technical College improved the accuracy and timeliness of award decisions, reduced staff effort, and made renewals easier for students. The college also gained better reporting for donors and more efficient scholarship management overall.
