OVERVIEW        <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"body-large\">\n        Nova Scotia Community College believes the future lies in the power of learning, which is why\r\nthey care about the success of every student\u2014in education, in career, and in life. With Blackbaud Award Management\u2122, NSCC matches more students with scholarships and ensures all scholarship funds are used in the ways donors intend.    <\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_a11cafb6eeee02e004b35e5daf3a4800\">\n            <p class=\"body-medium\">Through a network of 14 campuses, the Nova Scotia Community College provides Nova Scotians with inclusive and flexible access to education and specialized, industry-driven training essential for today and tomorrow\u2019s workforce. To improve the student experience and more effectively manage its $3.5 million scholarship funds, NSCC turned to Blackbaud Award Management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">NSCC uses Blackbaud\u2019s scholarship management software to promote and distribute funds and collect thank-you testimonials from students to help steward donors. \u201cWe saw a huge increase in the number of students using the software because it\u2019s so easy to use compared to what we had been using,\u201d said Matt Currie, manager of student awards and financial aid. \u201cAs a result, each year we\u2019ve had fewer unclaimed awards and this past scholarship cycle had close to zero. We went from around 80% to 95% fund utilization because of Blackbaud Award Management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Colleges can automatically use the most relevant student population data in their software and match funds to students to meet institutional commitments. Using the software\u2019s functionality, NSCC now proactively shares with donors what award criteria will better fit the student population. \u201cBecause we had more student users adopting the software, it also meant our applicant pool had equally significantly grown,\u201d said Currie. \u201cWithout Blackbaud Award Management, it would have made it more challenging to determine the best award criteria to suggest to donors.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section class=\"pull-quote pull-quote__top-bottom white-bg\" id=\"pull-quote-block_e4c806620de65e16efdb08fb1aff148f\">\n    <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper\">\n                <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-content\">\n            <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-quote\">\n                <h4 class=\"h5\">\u201cWithout Blackbaud Award Management, it would have made it more challenging to determine the best award criteria to suggest to donors.\u201d<\/h4>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-name\">\n                Matt Currie            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-role\">\n                    Manager of Student Awards and Financial Aid,                <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"pull-quote__wrapper-organization\">\n                    Nova Scotia Community College                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_d00f61e37368f3def1d003b4a664481f\">\n            <h3>Maximizing Impact with Essential Software<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">NSCC awards approximately 2,000 awards annually. The college leverages the qualification groups capability in Blackbaud Award Management alongside the preference functionality to provide an enhanced experience for both administrators and donors. The qualification groups capability allows administrators to see how qualified applicants are for award opportunities. This lets them modify qualifications or know if the award is too restrictive for awarding. The preference functionality allows them to find the most ideal qualifying candidates within the applicant pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cWe now recommend that donors also add preferences with their criteria because we know that with Blackbaud Award Management, we\u2019ll be able to easily identify an individual who meets the preferred criteria while also allowing others to apply,\u201d said Currie. \u201cWe\u2019re satisfying what the donors want while also minimizing administrative burdens, like rejecting the criteria request or extending the award deadline, which has been key in reducing the number of unclaimed awards as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Their previous scholarship management software lacked the extensive capabilities offered by Blackbaud Award Management, which streamlined the application review process and enabled anonymous reviewing in an effort to eliminate concerns of bias in the evaluation of applications.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section class=\"lede-stat\" id=\"lede-stat-block_133c4c62822c854250b7ce4e49b0472a\">\n            <div class=\"lede-stat__wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                            <div class=\"col-12 \">\n                    <div class=\"lede-stat__item \">\n                                                <div class=\"lede-stat__item-stat\">\n                            <h3>\n                                <mark>95%<\/mark>\n                            <\/h3>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"lede-stat__item-context\">\n                                <p class=\"body-large\">\n                                    Fund utilization with Blackbaud Award Management                                <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg-white white-bg\" id=\"wysiwyg-block_9897d0a1e734990f93b3be4cca21e3c1\">\n            <h3>Bringing Colleagues and Solutions Together<\/h3>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">The NSCC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of NSCC, also uses Blackbaud Award Management to see award progress and student recipient data. Before an award is processed, students willing to share their data with donors must respond to a few questions and are given the opportunity to provide a photo of themselves if they wish. The foundation can use the software to provide that information to donors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cHaving the foundation readily able to self-serve through Blackbaud Award Management has been a huge timesaver for us as well as them,\u201d said Currie. \u201cIt cuts down on the amount of time previously spent pulling information, freeing up our staff time to do more purposeful work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">Having shared access to Blackbaud Award Management also allowed Currie and the NSCC Foundation to create better synergy. The two departments gained a better understanding of the pressures and each other\u2019s roles because their work is more transparent. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing less awards that are restrictive, whereas that was more often the case before Blackbaud Award Management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">NSCC already has Blackbaud Award Management integrated with its student information system, PeopleSoft. The college and the foundation rely on Blackbaud Raiser\u2019s Edge NXT\u00ae for fundraising and relationship management, and Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT\u00ae for fund accounting. They will explore the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackbaud.com\/products\/raisers-edge-nxt-financial-edge-nxt\">integrating Raiser\u2019s Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT<\/a> to save reconciliation time, potentially cutting down on audit issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-medium\">\u201cWith Blackbaud software, we will continue to grow our processes as it has already provided us a lot of relief from previous challenges,\u201d said Currie. \u201cWe also really appreciate that Blackbaud Award Management resonates so well with our students.\u201d<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n<section
