AwardSpring is an all in one platform that seamlessly allows for quick and straitforward applications submissions, grading, and awarding. Sam Lucas was great in implementing the program. The 30 plus scholarships that we have were easily integrated and on the platform is a simple and effective customer support button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have yet to discover anything that I don't like about AwardSpring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process of awarding students and distributing funds is extremely easy. I like how you can award students in bulk and go directly to the distribution tab for those users. Also, that you can distribute funds evenly.

The customer support is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Our integration process from our old system to Award Spring was a breeze.

The application questions and format is extremely versatile; it's nice to be able to add conditional questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some improvements that would be extremely helpful would be able to duplicate qualification groups and to disable and re-enable to see different group of applicants.

It would be awesome if there are reports for each scholarship. Say you were in the Award and Deny tab, it would be great if you could download the information that's currently within that tab. Also, if you could expand the information in that tab so you can view as many columns as possible without having to continue scrolling left and right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love that it is one single application. It takes away so much stress for students when they don't have to go through a list of scholarships, pick out the ones they're eligible for, then fill out a very slightly different application for every single scholarship. It also means my team doesn't have to read every application and make sure it actually qualifies for the scholarship.

We haven't gotten to implement the integration with our SIS yet, but I'm hopeful that once we have that feature in place it will make the process even easier on my team and our students. So far it doesn't seem like it will be too much trouble, it's simply a matter of having the time.

The customer support has also always been great. I get quick responses to my questions, and can reach someone via phone, email, or even Zoom if really necessary. I've had tech support get on calls with me and walk me through processes that were confusing step by step, and were always very pleasant and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the most intuitive system, unfortunately. The award cycle feature is a bit awkward to use and was extremely confusing at first - I had no training and was dropped into the middle of a cycle, so I had to figure it all out as I went and struggled a lot. Tech support was great when I needed it, but there aren't a ton of answers online, or useful how to videos, or things like that.

The system for running a Special Application also needs a lot of work. If you run schoalrships outside of your single "annual application cycle" it becomes cumbersome to create and for students to fill out. If there is overlap between special apps and the annual ones, there can be confusion for students and in scoring.

There is also not many ways or opportunities to make mass changes to scholarships. While I can add a question to my application and it's for all scholarships, I can't add post-awarding paperwork that students need to fill out to every scholarship at once, it has to be done one at a time. There are a lot of places where there can be automation added in that would make the system faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been working with AwardSpring since November 2021 and I love it! Their product is very intuitive and the customer service is exceptional. They usually resolve my questions on the same day. We're a small shop (two paid employees) that awards about $500,000 in scholarships annually. It's the perfect product for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only dislike is that we can't use our state's area code for texting, which prevents us from using the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to call and getting fast response from the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't anything I've disliked about Awards Spring. It's a program I'm getting to know and when stuck on something; I call for further support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It pairs students with scholarships for which they are eligible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reviewer process is convoluted. Downloading giant reports and having to delete hundreds of columns and rows wastes so much time. I want to pick certain items and make a simple report of just the data I need. I also want to be able to make reports from the award and deny screen after I filter applicants; a report with just certain student answers from the select group of qualified applicants for a scholarship or a screen that will just show the answers of the students qualified for a scholarship. Additionally, I am unsure if the EFC and unmet need information is accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the user friendly platform experience this software prvodes to everyone who utilizes it. Wheter that be the person on the back end setting up the system, or student who is applying on the platform for the first time. The reporting tools are great and allow everyone who is responsible scholarship reporting to stay connected year round. The cstomer service we receive everytime we need to troubleshoot an issue, is phenomenal . The ease of integrating our SIS platform with the AwardSpring software was seamless. I utilize the platform daily to assist, departments, students with with any questions they have as it relates to scholarships in general. All round, just a great user-friendly software.

I do not like how on the dasboard area if a student has outstanding task they never go away even after an award year is completed, I also wish the software could intergrate with colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to build cycles and save information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) There is no extra field with preferred name. Our oriental students like to put their first name and how they like to be called. We need a space for Last name, first name AND preferred name.

2) When we stop impersonating an user, it would be best to be directed to the account of the user we were impersonatiing instead of the general user tab (in my opinion).

3) When adding additional requirements for scholarships, questions should have the option to have a minimum number of characters and not only a maximum amount of characters. This gives the student the option to not even send an application for review if they wrote one line in their essay question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the moment the contract was signed, every team member at AwardSpring made sure our platform was ready and performed to our highest expectations. Also, AwardSpring was able to integrate with our Student Information System and use our SSO. This product has improved our entire Scholarship season!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have not identified any downsides at this point. We realized that some of our selection parameters were incorrect, and AwardSpring jumped in to help our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
