Assigning School and Student ID in Bulk for UA Scholarships

We process around 200 scholarships to around 100 students annually. We love the SLM to CSuite integration, but we feel there is a huge oversight regarding assigning the school and student ID. This all has to be captured individually and manually entered into the payment in CSuite. This was quite an arduous process this year. It was easier to upload it into CSuite as we used to be able to do before SLM.

There was a release on 4/6/22 to implement this for standalone processes ("The School (Payee in SLM) and Student ID will sync between the two systems.") But this integration is not available for UA Scholarships.

    This is a huge hole in an otherwise great product. This a critical issue for our foundation. In the next 30 days we will have 114 scholarships for $287,750.00 paid to various institutions - all of which originated within the SLM system, payable through the CSuite system. Duplicated effort is something we would hope Foundant would seek to eliminate. Please update at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you

    With over 400 awards, the ability to have the data shared between SLM's universal application to CSuite would be a huge improvement. It would also be extremely useful for custom fields to be synced between the two platforms, such as high school attended, field of study, etc.

    This would really be a big time saver. Originally we thought this was for all scholarships when we started using this feature not aware that it did not work for UA scholarships. Please implement this for UA!

    We are doing the bulk upload right now for the first time and love it so far! Our UA will launch this fall or payout next year. Glad I saw this issue so I am aware. Thank you for posting.

    We now have to wait for a scholarship refund from Ohio State U because the student is going to Ohio U. If it transferred over from SLM this wouldn't have happened.
