About FACTS
FACTS is a scholarship management software that helps private and faith-based schools consolidate student information, manage enrollment processes, and handle financial aid assessment services. It enables teachers to create custom lesson plans, record attendance, review student report cards, and track calendar events.
The solution lets school administrators track availability of funds, analyze families' financial data, and provide tuition fees assistance to students in the form of merit-based scholarships. It provides professional development training to faculty members, allowing them to explore new aspects of teaching and enhance engagement with students. FACTS also allows managers to define fundraising strategies, accept donations, record donor information, allot funds to specific projects and analyze results in real-time.
The platform helps administrators process ACH payments, generate remittance reports, and monitor financial metrics on a unified dashboard. FACTS also enables managers to obtain and effectively utilize federal funding for coaching, social-emotional learning, personal or professional development classes, and more.

One central area to keep student information together.
Pros
This software has multiple sections that integrate with each other . This makes troubleshooting easier since you can actual get to the same area different ways. Also, once you get their support team they are awesome when it comes to helping you understand what you need done.
Cons
No area for emailing thread or contacting conversation with a co-workers on family balances.
Also call in to many buttons to get software area needed.

The benefits of this software are too many to list. Renweb has taught me things on the administrative side that I did not even know I needed to learn. My teachers have their classroom information organized and can make their own customized reports if needed which is a huge benefit because not all students are the same.
Pros
Having all the information for our students literally at our fingertips has been a huge advantage in moving into the digital age. We can quickly look up everything we need and it tracks it for all students and families. Having the access to personal information, tracking emails, communications, grade book and calendars all in one spot has been my favorite parts of diving into this software.
Cons
The thing I really hate is when you go to a classroom and it pops up "communication has moved". I did not go there for communication but since it is the first alphabetically on the list, this error pops up every time. I just scroll down and click grade book so it is easy to get out of it. It is just annoying that I feel like it yells at me every day when I go to that section. Small annoyance really but still annoying.

Customer support is very helpful. Some functions in program are cumbersome and frustrating.

Online access to account and payments for our families. Tracks their payment plans so we don't have to.
Pros
I like being able to take payments online or at the school and credit manually. I like that families can choose their own payment plan (per our setup).
Cons
Families find it frustrating if they are not online a lot or don't pay bills online. Paper invoices often get lost in mail. Also, I don't like that late fees are not charged when the payment is late. All late fees are added at the end of the month, even if the person was late as of the 20th. This gets really confusing if the family pays after being late but prior to late fee addition.
Response from Nelnet Business Solutions
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much for your feedback - we truly appreciate hearing your thoughts on our products. We may have a solution to address your comment about the timing of late fees. Your Account Manager will give you a call ASAP to discuss. Thank you again!

We're managing a campus with 700+ students quite easily. Some areas of the software are definitely under utilized, but the training staff is excellent! This is a one-stop shop to manage our student database, gradebooks, and online applications/enrollment.
Pros
This is great for managing our school. We have three "schools" on campus and are able to effectively manage our student information for all three using FACTS SIS. I like most that it's cloud based, so administration can access from anywhere on or away from campus.
Cons
Some of the features don't make sense to the user (such as in the steps to copy a schedule to use for the next school year, you have to "Clear Schedule" which sounds counterintuitive). Customer support can also be hit or miss.

I have used RenWeb for several years at my school and I'm really enjoying the new updates. It was a bit clunky before and is now quite smooth and intuitive.
Pros
RenWeb online is fantastic. The way it is graphically organized makes it very simple and intuitive to access grades, report cards, contact parents and staff, see individual student information, Etc. I'm over all very happy with the software.
Cons
The RenWeb Android app really doesn't let you do much. I can access student information and take attendance, but that's pretty much it. It's not organized terribly well and is slow as well. I look forward to an updated version in the future as they have updated their website.
