Here's what Northern College had to say
What an amazing experience!
"Northern College has had the pleasure of working with the amazing RIO Team to develop and implement a new portal for their scholarships, bursaries and awards. We went from the discovery phase to the implementation in just 4 months! What seemed as an unachievable target was completed and launched seamlessly.
This has everything to do with the dedication, incredible work ethic and attention to detail from the amazing and supportive staff at RIO Solutions. We couldn't be more pleased with the customized, user-friendly and intuitive solution we were able to develop together. We have already seen a tremendous growth in our student applications for scholarships, bursaries and awards after just over one week of its launch. We look forward to a continued working relationship.
One last thought - Walt, Deb, Mei, Nicole and Jessie you are awesome! Thanks again for all your work from your friends at Northern College in Canada."
