The BEST!!!!
In addition to the administrative time AwardSpring has saved me and our scholarship review team, our students love it! This process is so easy for a school that spans 11 counties with one scholarship rep! My job is worlds easier thanks to the AwardSpring platform! The ladies in support are amazing too! I know them by name and there is no waiting on hold nonsense. I can't speak highly enough about this product and the staff!
PROSIt is difficult to narrow down my favorite thing about AwardSpring, but if I have to only choose one it is definitely the administrative time is has saved me! From setting up scholarships, to helping applicants through the process, to reviewing applications, to awarding and receiving thank-you notes, the process is seamless and easy! Definitely well worth the money!
CONSMy least favorite thing is that sometimes it takes a while for the things on my wish list to be implemented, but there is a wish list! That in itself is awesome! The staff and developers look at the wish list and try to implement the items you suggest!

Great value for the price and amazing customer service!
I am very happy with AwardSpring. Their customer service is so quick to respond and their training was incredibly thorough. It makes our scholarship process a lot easier!
PROSThis software is very easy to use and made our scholarship process much more streamlined. We went from a paper application to AwardSpring and saw an increase in applicants as well as were able to easily track both students applications and the scholarships awarded. It is customizable to our needs and the team works with you to make sure it is working the way you'd like.
CONSIt doesn't have all of the bells and whistles as some other scholarship software has, but also is MUCH less expensive than other scholarship software products.
Reason for choosing AwardSpring
We were going from a paper application to online; AwardSpring seemed to be the most user-friendly and offer everything we needed at the lowest cost.

Good, not great
The customer service is great. I'm almost always able to speak with someone when I call rather than having to wait or receive a call back. I think the price reflects the quality of the platform.
PROSThe platform has a nice user interface for the applicant. It's fairly easy to create and edit applications.
CONSYou can't have more than one cycle open at once. The list of canned reports is small and custom reports take several days. There is no easy way to see applicants who are working on applications.

Excellent Scholarship Application Software
AwardSpring has saved us hours of work compiling all the pieces we need to see from our applicants. We don't have to wait for mailed-in applications or exhibits to have an applicant finish their submission. We also love the review feature. Our volunteers can log in from anywhere, and at any time to review applications. We get so much more done with AwardSpring and in an efficient and easy manner!
PROSAwardSpring is easy to use for someone with just about any level of software experience. You follow the directions, create your application, and you are pretty much ready to go. We also like the new pricing options. It's great that AwardSpring comes as both a Pro option as well as the month-to-month Now option. It makes the software a good fit for organizations of any size.
CONSThe software has one or two hidden buttons or toggles you have to find and make sure they are activated correctly in order for applicants to submit their applications. Fortunately, there's extensive help options when you just can't get something to work correctly. We also wish the submit application button was highlighted more or in a different color. So many of our applicants finish their applications, the info is auto-saved and they think they are done without hitting submit. If the button were green, and perhaps at the top of the page, maybe more applicants would notice they have to hit submit in order to be totally done.

AwardSpring review
My overall experience has been very good. The support team is excellent and always available to help.
PROSThe affordability of the product was a plus for us as we are a small college. I also liked that the features and imports were easy to use as I manage the scholarship process myself. I have help from our IT department, but it is a process I can manage with out too much support. I like that the review process has been easy for our reviewers.
CONSI would like to be able to use separate award cycles. The product only allows for one award cycle at a time. I would also like more robust reporting features - I feel as if I need to manipulate the reports in excel once they have downloaded. Also, I am frustrated that you can not delete questions that are no longer necessary on the application. We've had to do a work around by making the unwanted question's answer be an obscure choice (like a country address that is unlikely someone would choose as an option).
