Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently Blackbaud Award Management as the management portal for scholarship applications and funds. It allows us to have one central hub that store student applications and data, as well as award amounts and awarding history for scholarships. It's very easy to look up all the past recipients of a particular scholarship, or to view a specific student and see all their past applications and scholarships within the portal.
Pros and Cons
  • Keeps awarding data in one central hub
  • Allows users to easily review awarding history and application history
  • Easily customizable for the average user
  • The interface that students see is not the most user-friendly
  • Exporting data sometimes results in weird symbols showing up throughout text in place of quotation marks or commas
  • Support can be hit or miss

While the price is a bit high, the software provides everything we need to effectively award and track scholarships and awards within our institution. The ease of use allows for everyday users and occasional users to both be able to access the information they need without wasting time or resources.
