Scholarship Matchmaker Algorithm Development

The Scholarship Whizz seeks to enhance its platform by developing an advanced algorithm that efficiently matches students with scholarship opportunities tailored to their academic profiles, preferences, and eligibility criteria. The project challenges students to design and implement a sophisticated matching algorithm that provides personalized scholarship recommendations, thereby increasing user satisfaction and platform reach. This initiative offers students a practical opportunity to apply machine learning techniques to a real-world problem, focusing on the optimization of scholarship matching processes. The project is structured to be completed within 60 hours over a period of 2-8 weeks, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in algorithm development and data analysis. By the end of the project, students will have a deeper understanding of how machine learning can be leveraged to address challenges in educational technology.

Market Research

Main Goal The Scholarship Whizz aims to expand into the Canadian market by partnering with high schools, colleges and post secondary institutions to serve their community of students interested in securing scholarships and funding. We seek to collaborate with interns to conduct market research to identify potential high schools, colleges and post secondary institutions for partnerships and tailor our services to meet their needs. The ultimate objective is to uncover gaps in the current scholarship and funding assistance provided by these institutions and propose solutions that The Scholarship Whizz can offer.

User-Centered Design EduTech Web Application

The Scholarship Whizz seeks to develop an intuitive and engaging web-based EduTech Web Application to simplify the process of matching students to scholarships tailored to their needs. A key focus of the project is on user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design , ensuring the platform is accessible, visually appealing, and easy to navigate for diverse users, including students, parents, and educators. The project aims to: Design and prototype a seamless user interface that facilitates scholarship discovery and application. Incorporate intuitive navigation and clear visuals to improve user engagement. Enhance the platform’s usability by understanding user behavior through interactive features and feedback mechanisms .

EduTech Web Application

The Scholarship Whizz seeks to develop a web application that integrates a Learning Management System (LMS) tailored for educators and learners. The goal is to create a platform that simplifies course creation and management while ensuring secure user authentication and efficient progress tracking. The application will feature interactive content delivery and assessments, complemented by detailed analytics to enhance the online learning experience. By leveraging modern web technologies, the project aims to deliver a scalable and user-friendly solution that addresses the evolving needs of the education sector. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in web development, user interface design, and data analytics within a cohesive and impactful framework.
