Case Study: The University of Arizona reduces student borrowing and increases scholarship awards with CampusLogic's ScholarshipUniverse

70% of UA Students Use ScholarshipUniverse, Borrowing Less

The University of Arizona, a large public research university, faced a fragmented, time-consuming scholarship process: students had to manually find and vet internal and external awards, and scholarship committees struggled to identify eligible applicants from thousands of students, creating inefficiency and limiting access to aid.

By adopting ScholarshipUniverse (CampusLogic), UA delivered single sign-on access, adaptive scholarship matching, vetted external opportunities, and automated staff workflows. The platform drove broad adoption—about 70% of students (30,000+ in 2016–17), 20,000+ daily peak views—and helped students earn more than $6 million in external scholarships in 2016, while reducing borrowing, speeding committee decisions, and improving overall accessibility and student experience.
