Our Proven

SpringBoard Process

If previous software implementations have made you wary about going through the process again, let us reassure you: our implementation process is usually described as “no big deal”. We’ve carefully structured our SpringBoard implementation experience to make it as simple and carefree for you as possible.

We train you using your real data, so all of your scholarships are set up exactly the way you want once training is over. The whole process takes about two to four months, on average. During that time, we’re doing all the data entry, so you can keep on managing scholarships exactly the way you always have - no interruptions.


All told, you’ll personally spend about just a few hours on AwardSpring implementation, broken up into super-manageable

one-hour and half-hour meetings over the course of a few months.
