Scholarship Portal (P-0642) (MFN 6790)

Abstract

This thesis is about our final year project that we are pursuing as our degree requirement. The project is about university scholarship management system known as Scholarship Portal. The main aim of this thesis is to explain the main functionality and purpose of this project. Scholarship Portal is about managing all the processes related to scholarship management which include three main users i.e. Super Admin, Campus Unit, and Students. At present, applicants (students) have to fill out their application forms and submit them manually to the office. If there is any problem with their applications while they are processed, it will also take extra time for Super Admin, Campus Unit and Students to communicate and correct the errors, As a result, additional paperwork for review may cause a delay in the entire procedure. Some basic information provided by applicants is examined tediously by Campus Unit but it can be checked by a computerized system automatically. Keeping the record of each student in folder is very difficult task. It is time and storage consuming. In case of any catastrophic situation whole data and information has be lost. This thesis describes the development of a new software system for scholarship application and processing. Some of the important features of this new system include automating the old system with efficient processing and interactivity between multiple users under a highly secure networking environment. The document also describes some of the challenges encountered during each phase of the development life cycle.
