Every year, we would make our financial aid application available and have families fill it out. Once the application was closed, FACTS compiled all the data and made recommendations. It was great. > > **Cons**: A majority of the people who filled out the application (families applying for aid) were able to do so without a problem. There was, however, a portion of people who couldn’t figure it out and had issues. Just be mindful that you may receive phone calls\! > > Overall, would recommend. ----- ### "Using FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment" — 4.0/5 > **Paula** | *8 January 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that we do not have to review families financials, that we depend on FACTS to review and make recommendations. > > **Cons**: For the most part it us user friendly. We have run in to a few issues trying to find info or input our own info. ----- ### "Integrates well with FACTS/Renweb Software" — 5.0/5 > **Shannon** | *4 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is an all-in-one Grant \& Aid tool. It allows families an unbiased 3rd party review software, allows administrators on the review team to see the overall picture compared to the aid budget, then posts the award directly to the student's account. They are also backed up by the excellent customer service provided by FACTS management. We have never had an issue with FACTS management go unresolved for more than 24 hours and 99% of the time they are able to resolve it right there on the phone with you. > > **Cons**: Parts of the software were a little clunky to use. With as busy as we are as a small school, we need software that can be picked up pretty intuitively. There are quite a few steps to learn to just to finalize the award and post it to the account. Just to do this, I watched 3 separate videos. One of them I had to watch several times to make sure I was posting the award correctly. I know proper training is important when working with software, but it took longer to learn this software than we had planned upon. > > The best part about this tool is the justification it gives us to parents about why we award what we do. It is a low cost to the parents and gives them peace of mind their sensitive information will be secure. If you are currently using paper forms, I would highly recommend switching to FACTS Grant \& Aid\! ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/526716/FACTS-Grant-Aid-Assessment) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
