Abstract:
This paper proposes a smart Scholarship Management System (SMS) specifically designed for organizations providing scholarships for students in Lebanon. The SMS system aims to enhance efficiency and introduce new concepts to digitalized scholarship management. It will utilize web programming to provide accessibility and usability across devices. By integrating sentiment analysis, calculating the top 20 students, budget tracking, detailed student and donors’ profiles, applying dashboard, generating reports, smart donor matching, receipt scanning, and role-based access, the expected outcome is a robust platform that automates the administrative processes and eases the student’s experience in applying for scholarships while maintaining transparency and accountability. By implementing the advanced features of this system, it will fill significant gaps where such systems and tools are absent in Lebanon, and combined, absent worldwide. Overall, enhancing access to education for underserved communities by enabling more students to achieve their educational and career goals is crucial in this system’s broader context. This paper will discuss the methodology and results and will highlight the significance of the project.
