Blackbaud Award Management overview

What is Blackbaud Award Management?

Blackbaud Award Management (formerly AcademicWorks) is a cloud-based scholarship management and donor reporting solution which assists schools, colleges and universities with applicant tracking and communication. Its key features include forms management, student portal, financial aid management and reporting.

The application comes with a module which enables administrators to promote available scholarships on a website. The solution integrates with student information systems, enabling users to streamline application processing and synchronize data. Managers can extract key donor data from CRM systems, fund financial data, distribute thank-you letters, and fund beneficiary information in a single platform. Teams can generate donor reports and provide donors an online scrapbook experience to help visualize the impact of all financial gifts.

Blackbaud Award Management helps team members optimize the scholarship process by providing access to scholarship data for cross-functional stakeholders and complete campus-wide audits for fund utilization and compliance. Additionally, it allows admissions staff to distribute reports to donors via mail, email, and online access.

Cons
“The interface can be clunky and often times, setting up a new scholarship can be problematic (redundancies don't always prevent transcription errors).”
