I am working as assistant professor so this is very useful for identifying scholarship donors for my students and most attractive thing of this software is that by using this software we can easily renew scholarship. > > **Cons**: Very good software. I didn't find any cons. ----- ### "This system has been a wonderful in increasing efficiency and improve donor contact." — 4.0/5 > **Michelle** | *8 May 2017* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We really like having all the scholarships visible in one place for students, families and donors to view. No more searching the web for scholarship information. We have also like the ease in which you can communicate with students and others via the system which has saved time with individual emails. We have increased our scholarship applications due to the ease of accessing the application. Our students have given the software much praise. Lastly, real time reporting has been a life saver, not only with managing the day to day but providing data to management as a moments notice. > > **Cons**: The Reviewer portal is a bit cumbersome. Our departments scholarship committees find it difficult to use. ----- ### "Award Management" — 3.0/5 > **Heather** | *28 May 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software allows for an easy student user experience. > > **Cons**: It's missing some functionality for logging in as an admin side, some tweaky things like creating a grid view and if your mouse moves outside the pop up it closes down. > > Overall, learning to run the system and think like the system has been a hurdle, it's not always user friendly on the admin side. The more i learn the more it works for me. ----- ### "Academic Works has revolutionized our scholarship process\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *4 May 2017* > > **Pros**: We love the software because it is easy to use, and has revolutionized our process. The main reason we love the software is of the excellent customer support and service that we receive. The entire staff always goes above and beyond to answer questions, and find solutions that will work for the problem you have. They are always thinking outside the box for ways to make my job easier\! ----- ### "Great for scholarship management\!" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *30 September 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Academic Works a great solution for scholarship management. It helps us manage the both the application and selection process for over 150 different scholarships. It's easy for students to apply and for donors and selection committees to review. > > **Cons**: The software is pretty pricey. There are also a lot of features that were a bit more than we needed so at times it felt like we were paying for features that we just weren't using. However, we felt like we would grow into it and eventually begin using more features for our scholarship program. > > Blackbaud is an in-depth project management system and helps keep our contacts, notes, client history, scholarship donors, etc. all in one place. Using it for our scholarship management has helped increase our efficiency since we no longer have to print everything out for committees to review. Applications can be reviewed and scored online making the process much smoother. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/123892/blackbaud-award-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/123892/blackbaud-award-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
