  1. Scholarship Directory (Similar to Nonprofit Directory)

    We would like to request that Foundant consider creating a scholarship directory similar to the Nonprofit Directory. We would like a place to easily share our scholarship names, descriptions, and photos to our students, parents, donors, and community. We would like to maintain this directory directly in C-Suite so that it can communicate externally and with SLM, if possible.

  2. On/Off Toggle for Post By Payment

    Adding an On/Off toggle to the "Post By Payment" dimension for scholarship creation would be helpful for our Foundation. We’ve requested that members of our scholarships team not use the “Post By Payment” feature when creating scholarships, but it still happens on occasion by mistake. This causes a variance between the General Ledger and the Grants by Fund Report which our Finance Team prefers to avoid when possible for a variety of reasons.

  3. Bulk Make Student Grantee/Payee

    To help increase the efficiency of processing scholarship payments that need to be payable to the student; a bulk action to set grantee to student would be beneficial. Currently, it requires creating the student profiles in CSuite first via a bulk import with the is grantee, is vendor, is student designation then you have to create the scholarship award (manually, via import or through integration). If you use the SLM integration you must set the student as the grantee/payee on each scholarship one by one. This is a very tedious process that leaves lots of room for error, the creation…

  4. SLM/CSuite Integration: Attached documents should integrate

    It would be nice to have documentation that has been uploaded on GLM/SLM to be transferred to C-Suite once the grant has been synced.

  5. set scholarship

    When you select Set Scholarship it should not allow you to use an inactive fund or at least should provide a warning message

  6. Checkbox for Set School Flag

    Many clients have really messy lists of college/universities they have paid one time, individuals, or k-12 schools that shouldn't be included that they have to spend a significant amount of time cleaning up when setting up payee fields. Currently this is an all or manual one by one process. If there were a checkbox that comes up when you hit set school flag and you could go down a list and select what you want to add that would save admins so much time!

  7. Ability to edit a scholarship

    There should be a way to edit scholarship/schol fund rather than delete it and re-enter. We had a new staff enter 25 scholarships to an incorrect fund, so those all had to be unposted, unapproved, deleted, etc. and they all have to be re-entered as there is no way to edit the fund or scholarship. These did not come from SLM.

  8. Scholarship import - add decision date

    With the new decision date field and it being required for SLM, it would be great if it was included on the import for scholarships into CSuite and a note made that it is required if you are going to send the scholarships to SLM. We receive many (100+) scholarships for education foundations we manage funds for of the scholarships they award each year. We are going to have to touch each one of these to add decision date before we can send them to SLM to get follow up forms assigned.

  9. Can we create a Scholarship Catalog like the Grant Catalog?

    I would like an easier way to compile all our scholarship applications.
    Can we create a Scholarship Catalog in the SLM?

  10. attachments

    It would be nice if the attachments on a student's profile could be an attachment option when processing a grant instead of having to re-upload the attachment.

  11. auto fill

    I noticed in SLM that many students use auto fill to load their saved address into the application. There is an Address 2 line (for apartment I assume). When they auto fill however, their city populates in Address 2 and I then have to go in and manually delete the city from that line. Is there a way to program the Address line so that auto fill is deactivated for that?

  12. Scholarships - Add "Complete All" option in Paid bucket

    It would be very helpful to have a Complete All option in the Scholarships Paid bucket (just as it is in the Grants Paid bucket). Currently, we have to click into each scholarship record and choose Complete one-by-one.

  13. text communication to student applicants

    I'm on a call with several scholarship managers, several of whom use foundant and we want to be able to communicate with students via text for reminding them about applications, followups, etc... What a difference that would make!

  14. The new scholarship award letter is appreciated. However, we need to be able to sort the order to match the order of scholarship letters

    We enclose a copy of the scholarship letter when we mail the student their scholarship award letter. It would be incredibly helpful if the scholarship award letter order of printing could be modified to match that of checks and scholarship letters. Currently the scholarship award letter seems to print in order of scholarship ID. There does not seem to be a method to assignment of scholarship ID numbers - they do not match the order of the import file.

  15. scholarship description field

    Currently the description field in the scholarship ID is not reportable anywhere. Can this be added to a default report or allowed for custom reporting?

  16. Donor Advisor Portal

    Give individual options in the "Show Student Data" in the Donor Advisor Portal Setting. I would like donors to see the student's name, and school they're attending, but no personal information.

  18. Remove Student Name From Grant Record

    When creating a scholarship from SLM or manually within cSuite, the student name is being populated in the grant description field by default. We have students that wish to not share their names, so this make this process much more labor intensive having to manually edit the names out each and every time.

  19. Custom Fields on Scholarship Record - NOT just on Scholarship Award

    We need to report on scholarship info such as target high school, field of interest, selection committee, etc. so can share with counselors, etc. Could do that with custom fields. The only scholarship custom fields are currently tied to the award, not the scholarship itself. Can't use fund custom fields because some funds have multiple scholarships. Currently managing all this in Excel.

  20. Adding Student number-link to update School?

    Wondering if it is possible when you add a student number to the student profile, if a different school is selected then what was originally entered for the Scholarship recipient, the information can link or have a prompt to change the school for said scholarship recipient? We usually have a lot of students change schools from their application date to distribution, it would be awesome if the information can be linked to update in both places, or a prompt to change.
