Case Study: University of Wisconsin-River Falls streamlines scholarship management with AcademicWorks

University of Wisconsin River Falls - Customer Case Study

University of Wisconsin River Falls implemented AcademicWorks in 2012 to replace a manual scholarship process that relied on PeopleSoft, paper applications, and time-consuming staff work to match students with scholarships and route review rankings. The university needed a simpler, more efficient solution for its scholarship application and review process.

AcademicWorks delivered an easy-to-use platform with strong support, and the implementation went smoothly despite staff turnover. As a result, students had fewer questions about applying, reviewers were able to work online, and the university now receives over 2,800 applications each year—more than 40% of student enrollment—with ongoing interest in expanding use of the system.
