Case Study: Virginia Society of CPAs achieves a streamlined, time-saving online scholarship process with SmarterSelect

Virginia Society of CPAs (VSCPA) brings their scholarship application program online with SmarterSelect

Virginia Society of CPAs faced a paper‑based, time-consuming scholarship process where applicants mailed forms and recommendations and volunteers assembled large review packets. To modernize the program, Virginia Society of CPAs partnered with SmarterSelect to move their scholarship applications to a fully online application portal.

SmarterSelect implemented a streamlined platform with application progress tracking, automated reminders and an online scoring rubric for reviewers. As a result, SmarterSelect helped VSCPA increase the number of applications, save substantial administrative time, and create a more consistent, efficient scoring and selection process.
