Abstract

Many students who seek scholarships face challenges due to a lack of awareness and complicated application processes. Because of lack of knowledge of available scholarships, qualifying criteria, and deadlines, students may miss out on chances to apply for it. As a result, they encounter difficulties in financing their education and may need to rely on personal savings or costly student loans. To solve this issue, we have created scholarshipmy.com website to help students create awareness and solve their problems in searching for scholarships available in Malaysia. It was the first platform in Malaysia that provided all the scholarships available in a single platform. The objective of the platform is to provide detailed information on how to apply, selection criteria and guidelines. Students also can compare the scholarships available on the platform and apply for the best fit with the criteria. This product differs from others in that it gives students a unique opportunity to acquire full information on scholarships granted by both public and private organizations. Students can use this tool to remain on top of important application deadlines, ensuring they never miss out on prospective funding possibilities. The uniqueness of the website is that students can compare the process of applying for scholarships and with the option of asking for a loan through PTPTN (National Higher Education Fund Corporation). This website also includes a calculator that determines the loan amount that must be repaid in the future. As a result, students will be aware of the amount they need to pay in the future. In conclusion, this website helps students to save time, provide golden opportunities in applying for scholarships, motivate them to further study and create awareness of scholarships available in Malaysia. This innovation also will support the Malaysian Government's effort to attract, motivate and retain local talented human capital and meet SDG4.
