Case study

Bursary application and tracking platform

A paper-based bursary process for thousands of applicants moved online, with integrity checks running before a reviewer reads a word.

The build

What the problem was, and what we did about it.

The problem

Thousands of paper applications, each needing to be checked for the things that disqualify it, by people whose time is better spent assessing the ones that qualify.

What we built

An online application portal with automated integrity checks at the front and a review workflow behind it. The reviewers see a shorter, cleaner pile, and every decision is recorded. Bursaries awarded almost doubled in the year it went live.
