The term “Scholarship” is sometimes used to describe any financial aid given to a
student that does not have to be repaid. A scholarship is given to a student because of
a reason: the student has qualified for or won it by academic, artistic or athletic ability,
or by agreeing to follow a particular career, or has some special ethic. [ CITATION Abh17 \l

Kissel (2013) said that Paper-based processes involve the handling of physical
cabinet. Paper based processes are inefficient, cost valuable office space, and pose
security risks [CITATION Sel11 \p 39 \l 1033 ] notes that filing systems require a large amount
of physical space and spawn inefficiencies in searching for previously filed papers.
Organizations that use paper-based processes also face security risks due to
paper documents that have been lost, been damaged, been misfiled, or fallen into the

Traditional file organization has security advantages over electronic filing, but it
also has its disadvantages. Electronic files are usually accessible on a network, which
means it's possible for an unauthorized person to gain access to electronic data over
the Internet through hacking methods. Electronic data can also be damaged by software
security problems like computer viruses. On the other hand, paper files can be lost in
fires and floods, but electronic data is easy to back up in multiple locations, reducing the
potential for permanent data loss (Gregory Hamel; 2018). So, creating a system that will
replace that traditional file organization will lead to more safe and secure files of data.

example, conducting selection test and correcting papers. There is a traditional file

The scholarship assessment is one of the regular work of the counselors, which
is related to the vital interests of the most students. The traditional method is that the
counselors manually add points and re-rank the students who meet the conditions
according to the ranking in the student education system. This kind of work is time-
consuming and error-prone. This paper presented an automated method to evaluate the
college student scholarships, which uses computer programming technology to add and
sort the students’ scores. A lot of experiments had implemented to test the accuracy of
the algorithm and the experimental results proved that it could improve the work
efficiency and the accuracy and greatly reduce the work pressure of counselors. Most of
the experimental data come from the students in our college, whose performance data
come from the educational management system, and the winning information come
from the student work management system. In summary, the work has important
theoretical and practical significance for the daily work of the counselors and the
large number of scholarship applications typically in the range of five to eight thousands
due to their current paper-based processing. At present, applicants 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 both the
reviewing committee as well as the applicant to communicate and correct the errors. As
a result, additional paperwork for review may cause a delay in the entire procedure.
Some basic criteria such as GPA are now examined tediously by committee members
order to solve these problems, a pilot project was done to automate many of the tasks
performed by all the parties including the applicant and the scholarship committees.
This manuscript describes the development of a new software system for scholarship

features of this new system include efficient processing and interactivity between

solve this problem, a decision support system (DSS) using Multiple Attribute Decision
Making with Simple Additive Weighting Method was demonstrated by using a numerical
example to determine the scholarship recipients. The method is able to display a list of
the scholarship recipients by sorting the best alternative values from a number of
alternative values in descending order. In this paper, we used ten scholarship recipient
candidates as the alternatives and four scholarship requirements as the criteria or the
attributes. The results obtained with finding the weight values of each attribute, then
ranking the optimal score value of each alternative. [ CITATION Irv17 \l 1033 ]
An automated system to follow up the scholarships of faculty members is
proposed in this paper. This framework provides a simple interface for the college
coordinators to apply for scholarships in language, master and PhD training. They
can fill the information of faculty members who are working in their respective
colleges. The proposed system helps the coordinators to manage the file of
applicant and then he can follow it. This system can also be used by post graduate
college and their higher management to follow the requests of scholarships and also
it can generate reports based on the application. The proposed framework depends
on many criteria’s which can be used by the management for evaluating the requests
to decide on accept/
reject the respective request. It can increase the productivity and also reduces the time
and effort to review the file of the applicant. (Almanza, Billy June, Gozo, Eloise Marie., et.

they met designated academic performance outcomes; (b) students receiving extensive
academic support and tutoring services; and (c)students who were offered both. A
remaining group of first-year students who received none of the three offers served as a
control group against confounding variables. The findings showed that although the
financial incentive alone served as a better motivator for persistence than academic
support alone, students receiving both offers persisted as the highest rate. The fact that
the financial intervention in this study was merit-based and not need-based in nature
suggests that money simply served as a catalyst for students already possessing the
skills necessary to perform in college. However, the study does not contribute to the
argument that academic performance plays a key role in student persistence patterns.

It is for the Scholarship office of a city to render the best service for the clients.
Primarily, the office personnel of the said office are having their transactions using MS
Excel in keeping records of students’ profile and funds. The record, which is taken by
the scholarship head, returns the information of the qualified applicants for scholarship.
Each application will undergo strict screening and one of its major requirements is that
the scholar applicant must be a bonafide resident of the said city. In using MS Excel, the
scholarship head consumed a lot of time before they can finish recording all the
transactions per day. One thing that makes it complicated is that there are tons of data
that needs to be updated about the scholars each time. It takes a month or few for the
