Surge - Scholarship Matching AI App Design

Surge: An AI-powered app designed to help users discover and apply for scholarship opportunities worldwide by matching them based on their academic background, location, and eligibility criteria. The app simplifies the scholarship search process through personalization and smart recommendations.

Finding scholarships is often overwhelming and inefficient. Students typically face:

Scattered and outdated scholarship information

Time-consuming manual searches across multiple platforms

Difficulty understanding eligibility requirements

Missed opportunities due to poor filtering and late discovery

Many existing platforms list scholarships but don’t personalize results, leading to low application success rates.

High school graduates seeking undergraduate scholarships

University students pursuing postgraduate studies

Professionals looking for funded programs or fellowships

Users from developing regions with limited access to guidance

I designed an app where users:

Create a detailed profile (education level, GPA, country, field of study, goals)

The AI engine analyzes the data and continuously matches them to relevant scholarships

Users receive a personalized dashboard showing:

Each scholarship includes a clear eligibility breakdown and application checklist

The experience is simple, personalized, and action-oriented.
