Case Study: Worcester State University achieves a 70% increase in scholarship applications with AcademicWorks

Worcester State University - Customer Case Study

Worcester State University was looking for a more user-friendly scholarship application system after its in-house online solution proved difficult for students, reviewers, and support staff. The university chose AcademicWorks to replace its paper-based and custom-built process and to better support its scholarship program.

AcademicWorks implemented the platform in Spring 2012 and helped integrate it with Colleague/Datatel by Ellucian. The result was a simpler process, strong user adoption, and a 70% increase in applications without additional marketing. Worcester State University also reported fewer issues, easier reviewing, and time savings for the Financial Aid Office.
