Case Study: Portland Community College achieves faster, easier scholarship management with AcademicWorks

Portland Community College - Customer Case Study

Portland Community College (PCC) needed a more robust scholarship management system after its on-campus software caused speed and performance issues for applicants and reviewers. PCC wanted a cloud-based solution that could scale with the college, and selected AcademicWorks for its nightly integration with the Banner student information system and its stronger automated scholarship-matching capabilities.

AcademicWorks implemented an easy-to-use scholarship platform for both students and reviewers, improving access and streamlining the review process. After going live, PCC saw scholarship applications double while student questions decreased, and reviewers were able to complete evaluations faster from computers or tablets, speeding up the overall scholarship process.
