Case Study: Texas A&M University-Commerce improves scholarship management and student access with AcademicWorks

Texas A&M University - Customer Case Study

Texas A&M University-Commerce, a 4-year public university in Commerce, TX, struggled with a fragmented scholarship process managed through spreadsheets, email, and paper applications. The Financial Aid Office, Advancement, and academic departments lacked a central place to track recipients and applications, making communication difficult and limiting how many scholarships students could pursue. Texas A&M University-Commerce turned to AcademicWorks to create a more consistent, student-friendly scholarship experience.

AcademicWorks implemented an online scholarship management solution that automatically matched students to eligible awards, simplified the application process, and gave departments tools to review and track applications in one place. The result was more applicants, more funds awarded, stronger coordination across offices, and the ability to post scholarships online immediately after donor agreements were finalized. AcademicWorks also improved transparency and communication, helping Texas A&M University-Commerce award scholarships faster and with greater confidence.
