Some work to be done - Scholarship Manager from Next Gen Web Solutions
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We utilized Scholarship Manager from Next Gen Web Solutions for quick reference and a database of donors and endowments. While we used it some for annual giving scholarships, the primary focus was to keep tabs on our funds and add another support tool for donor engagement. We were able to easily gather data of recipients, funds, thank you letters, and process data for donor updates and our scholarship team’s use.
Pros
- Simple menu functions
- Organized data
- Easy for basic users to navigate
Cons
- Functions and features
- Consistency with portal access
- More editing functions in the scholarship recipient review section
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
