Case Study: North Central College achieves streamlined scholarship management with AcademicWorks

North Central College - Customer Case Study

North Central College, in Naperville, Illinois, was managing scholarships entirely by paper, which made it difficult to track applications, review packets, and award status. Lost or misrouted materials and delays in the process created extra work for staff and reviewers. North Central College turned to AcademicWorks and its scholarship management solution to replace the manual workflow.

AcademicWorks implemented a single online system that centralized scholarship applications, applied eligibility logic, assigned reviews automatically, and synced with the student information system for accurate data. The result was a much more streamlined process with less paper, easier reviews, and no lost documents. According to the college, AcademicWorks eliminated the time spent photocopying, mailing, and collecting documents, saving enough time to make the product worthwhile.
