This paper presents the development of a Scholarship Eligibility and Application Portal, aimed at simplifying and improving the scholarship application and verification process for educational institutions. The system allows administrators to create and manage scholarships, define eligibility criteria, and verify student-submitted documents, while students can explore available opportunities, submit applications, and track their status. By automating key processes, the portal minimizes manual effort, enhances accuracy, and ensures a more efficient and transparent scholarship management system.

The platform is designed to securely handle student documents, enabling administrators to review and approve applications with ease. A well-structured database and backend system ensures smooth storage and retrieval of scholarship data, reducing processing time and improving decision-making. With real-time updates and data tracking, the system enhances accessibility for both students and administrators, ensuring a fair and structured scholarship distribution process.

This paper emphasizes that integrating a digital scholarship management system can significantly improve the efficiency of educational institutions. By leveraging automation and secure database storage, the platform optimizes scholarship distribution, reduces administrative workload, and provides students with better access to financial assistance.
