Case Study: The Dunham School reduces contract-to-billing from 8 hours to 4 minutes with Blackbaud Tuition Management

The Dunham School - Customer Case Study

The Dunham School, a 760-student independent K–12 school in Baton Rouge, faced a time-consuming, error-prone enrollment contract and tuition billing process that relied on spreadsheets and manual data entry, with deferred tuition management particularly cumbersome.

By integrating Blackbaud Enrollment Management System, Tuition Management, and Financial Edge NXT, the school automated contract-to-billing data transfer, streamlined deferred tuition plans, and enabled online family account access and robust reporting. The result: reconciliation is simpler, errors are minimized, and what once took about eight hours of manual entry now takes roughly four minutes—“you punch a button, and it’s there.”
