Case Study: Virginia Sheriffs' Institute achieves streamlined scholarship management and saves days of manual work with Submittable

Virginia Sheriffs' Institute - Customer Case Study

The Virginia Sheriffs' Institute faced a fragmented, time-consuming scholarship process—applications arrived by mail, email, fax, and an underused online form (only about one-eighth of applicants used it), and staff spent hours re-entering information into Excel. To modernize and reduce that administrative burden, the Virginia Sheriffs' Institute partnered with Submittable.

Submittable implemented a customizable online application and automated workflow that centralized submissions, attachments, and communications and added features like a built‑in letter generator for award notifications. The Submittable solution removed "days and days" of tedious manual work, reduced data re-entry and messy paperwork, increased clean online participation, and freed VSI staff to focus on students and the organization’s mission.
