Seamless Integration

AwardSpring syncs with your Student Information System (SIS) to ensure that all student data and relevant information are accurate and current.


As an admin, you have complete control over how your students, reviewers and donors access the platform. You can create users directly in AwardSpring or leverage your organization's centralized user provisioning system to control access, usernames, and password rules. We support all of the commonly used Single Sign On (SSO) environments (Active Directory, SAML, CAS, and LDAP).

Support for Long Term Goals

AwardSpring excels at managing your scholarship cycle in less time and with less effort than manual methods. But that's not all it can do. Discover the ways we can help you drive long-term strategies to increase fund utilization, engage donors, increase fundraising, and more.

Mobile Friendly For All

These days, everyone relies heavily on their mobile devices to get things done - especially students. Whether your users prefer working on a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, you can trust that they will all have a seamless and user-friendly experience when working within the AwardSpring platform.

A Single, Unified Application

We know that students are easily overwhelmed by the application process. That's why we made AwardSpring incredibly easy for students to use, with a focused experience that limits tasks, shows progress, and allows students to take breaks and seamlessly pick up where they left off. Students fill out just one application that automatically matches them to all available scholarships. Auto-save ensures not a single response is ever lost. At the end of the application process, students see every scholarship for which they're qualified - and only have to complete final tasks, like essay-writing, for those specific scholarships.

Foolproof for Reviewers

Flexible Reviewer Assignments

Choose your assignment methodology - random, all, or manual - with a single click. If you have more than 50 applicants, or lots of reviewers, we recommend assigning reviewers randomly. Small review team? Choose “all” so that all reviewers will see all of the applications.

Personalized Review Methods

Make your review process as efficient as possible. Review by scholarship, applicant, or a combination. Create as many teams of reviewers ("Review Groups") as you'd like, for as many or as few scholarships as you want, and all of the applicants for those scholarships will funnel to the same Review Group. Fine-tune your blinding settings for each Review Group to hide specific student application responses, protecting sensitive student information, eliminating bias, and speeding up reviews. Need advice? We're aways available to help you build the most logical and efficient review process for your unique program.

Streamlined Review Process

Built-in tools let you quickly establish clear rubrics, set deadlines, and alert reviewers of upcoming and overdue assignments. You and your reviewers can all work remotely on personal computers or tablets.

Simple, Adaptable Scorecards

Our online score cards are designed to be flexible, easy-to-use translations of your old paper rubric. Using simple labels eliminates scrolling for reviewers, which can save a surprising amount of time.

Awarding Made Easy

Future Cycles Made Easy

Copy any of your previous cycles - including all qualifications, application questions, and scholarships - to your current award cycle with just a few clicks. No support team or ticket is ever required, although we're always more than happy to help if you need it.

Insightful Awarding & Denying

AwardSpring’s Award & Deny screen gives you deep insights into your applicant pool without a lot of complication. Pre-filter your applicant list for secondary preferences, which can help you please donors or make tie-breaker decisions.

Faster Awarding

Filter and sort applicant data and reviewer scores to effortlessly choose the best candidates. Include donor preferences for evaluation on your endowed funds. Bulk awarding and automated notifications quickly alert applicants of scholarship decisions.

Publish When You're Ready

Determine your ideal award winners by changing your award structure and modifying award recipients as many times as necessary. Students won't be notified about your decisions until you publish, which is a distinct, fool-proof step in the process.

Manage Post-Award Tasks

Keep everything organized with a follow-up workflow for post-award tasks, like thank-you letters and RSVPs. A to-do list populates for both you and awarded students; students upload documents or messages and you can review and reply, all within the platform.
