Description
The project will source and implement a Scholarship Processing system. This system will be a fully integrated solution to meet donor management and scholarship processing functionality for campus departments and colleges, students, Financial Aid, and The WWU Foundation.
The new system will result in improved access to scholarships for students utilizing smart applications and workflow, more transparent communication of timelines and document submissions, better fund utilization, internal processing efficiencies, more opportunity for donor/recipient interaction and enhance our stewardship efforts. The installation will include setup and implementation of all hardware and software required for system operation, any data conversion needed, and training in the system's use.
