Case Study: University of Northern Colorado achieves 40% more scholarship applications with AcademicWorks

University of Northern Colorado - Customer Case Study

The University of Northern Colorado needed a better scholarship management process than its previous automated system, which was cumbersome for students, hard to report on, and relied on paper-based review and manual verification. With more than 1,100 scholarship funds and 13,000 students, the university chose AcademicWorks to streamline scholarship applications, reviews, and award tracking.

AcademicWorks implemented a single online application, automated reviewer access, and integrated award acceptance and thank-you letter collection. The result was a 40% increase in applications in the first year, faster review cycles, and the ability to award all scholarships before classes began. AcademicWorks also improved access to reporting and created a clearer dashboard for the teams involved.
