Royal College of Art connects global scholarship candidates via asynchronous video interviewing
RCA needed to connect geographically dispersed scholarship candidates to a global panel of arts experts across multiple time zones, with live video scheduling being unviable. Paper applications made it hard for candidates to show passion and difficult to engage the judging panel.

Outcome
RCA achieved a 100% response rate from long-listed candidates, and the judging panel responded very positively, praising the system as professional, easy to use, and flexible.
What failed first
RCA had relied solely on paper applications the previous year, which made it difficult for candidates to demonstrate passion and led to low engagement from the judging panel.
