Case Study: McLennan Community College streamlines scholarship management with AcademicWorks

McLennan Community College - Customer Case Study

McLennan Community College, a 9,000-student institution in Waco, Texas, switched from another software vendor in 2014 because its scholarship process was still dependent on printed applications, paper review sheets, and manual spreadsheet entry. The college needed a more flexible, online system with scoring and a smoother review workflow, so it chose AcademicWorks.

AcademicWorks implemented its scholarship management platform and helped the college load scholarship descriptions and qualification criteria for 300 awards. The result was very positive feedback from applicants and reference providers, with expectations of much less time spent on reviewing for the scholarship committee. McLennan Community College also praised AcademicWorks for its responsive support, training, and knowledgeable implementation team.
