Case Study: Iceland Writers Retreat achieves safer, faster scholarship management with Award Force

How Iceland Writers Retreat transformed its scholarship management system

Iceland Writers Retreat, a non-profit literary retreat in Reykjavík, was struggling to manage its scholarship program with manual processes, spreadsheets, and filing that had become difficult to sustain. The organization needed a more secure and efficient way to handle multiple full and partial funding scholarships, and chose Award Force awards management software to streamline the process.

Award Force implemented a single, secure awards platform with features like payment facilitation and real-time review tracking. The results were immediate and measurable: Iceland Writers Retreat reported saving more than 30 hours of work, improving data insights, reducing security risks by eliminating file downloads, and making the process much easier for its 40+ volunteers.
