Next Gen Web Solutions
While the tools given and access to data is simple, the overall functionality of the tool is lacking some basic features. Scholarship Manager from Next Gen Web Solutions provides a place to add users for share donor engagement and scholarship review process. However, having more editing, print, and save functions are handy. An annoying feature is when reviewing scholarships, you have to scroll and scour full lists of recipients to completely confirm them for a scholarship. We found this a chore when sharing review duties broken down to cover specific alphabetic quadrants.
