Case study · Texas State Technical CollegeHow TSTC put stagnant scholarship funds to work in its first semester.
$321Kin stagnant funds awarded in the first semester
500+more applications every semester
1 weekto review applications, down from about a month
The challenge
A six-person scholarship committee from several departments read 2,500+ applications and essays by hand, voted, and needed repeated reminders to finish before sending the list to Financial Aid. Review took about a month. And because TSTC could only award students who applied, low participation left funds sitting unspent.
With Awarded
Students and staff quickly heard how easy the new application was, and volume rose sharply. With a bigger pool to match from, TSTC awarded its old, stagnant funds in the first semester, and its clear fund utilization data has since strengthened its grant applications.
“Before Awarded, our application review process was about a month long. Now, it is about a week.”

Common questions.
Is Awarded a fit for a small scholarship team?
Yes. Matching, awarding, reminders and donor reports are automated, and Awarded's team handles setup, data migration and training, so a lean office can run the full cycle.
Can the foundation and financial aid both use it?
Yes. Foundation staff and financial aid work in the same system with permissions by role, so fund balances, awards and donor reports stay in one place.
Do students need to fill out a long application?
No. Anything already in your SIS is never asked again, and students only see the supplements they're eligible for.
