OpenScholar

Transparent education funding platform — connecting donors with verified NGOs and scholarship programs, ensuring full accountability in how funds reach the children who need them most.

Overview

OpenScholar is a prototype web application that enables:

• Donors to browse verified NGOs, scholarship programs, and individual students — then donate and track exactly where their money goes
• NGO Admins to manage scholarship programs, register students, allocate funds, and submit documentation
• Schools to register as partners, submit invoices for tuition/uniforms/books, and track funding
• Students to apply for scholarships and view their digital scholarship ID
• System Admins to verify NGOs, manage platform integrity, and oversee fund flows
• Public viewers to see a transparency dashboard with total scholarships funded and spending breakdowns
