Inspiration

Following a large number of students and personnel who fail to attain their career levels and goals due to a lack of enough skill or income to further their career skills, we were inspired to come up with a system, The Udhamini App, to help students and personnel acquire scholarships from their desired world-class universities to further and home their careers and attain their goals without having to use a lot of resources like sufficient income.

What it does

Udhamini App lets a student create a profile and access a huge scholarship database where he or she can choose the most appropriate one to apply for.

How we built it

Udhamini App is built using a JavaScript stack called M.E.R.N. MongoDb for database, Express as a backend framework, React as a frontend framework, and Nodejs as the runtime environment

Challenges we ran into

The fact that we knew just the basics of these JavaScript frameworks that we used to create the app, gave us the challenge to push ourselves and learn them while working on the project. Dev tools collaborations were also a challenge since we were also new to these technologies. Generally, it was a great learning experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Providing easily accessible scholarships to the less fortunate Individuals at very minimal costs, enabling students acquire necessary skills from top institutions through acquiring scholarships by use of Udhamini App.

What we learned

  1. Learn About Tech - One of the biggest benefits of attending a hackathon is learning new skills and attaining new knowledge. According to coding society Hackerstolz, you might gain more knowledge than you would in six months, due to the learning-by-doing approach employed at hackathons. You can also soak up information from fellow attendees — including ideas you may never have gained in the classroom or from a book
  2. Challenge Yourself - It can be very easy to remain in your comfort zone, doing things you know how to do and never really challenging yourself. At hackathons, there is no such safe space. You will be constantly challenged to push yourself and move outside your comfort zone.
  3. Collaborate Under Pressure - It may not sound like a selling point, but experiencing the pressure of having to come together with people you don’t know and create something entirely new in a very short space of time can be hugely rewarding.

What's next for Udhamini Scholarship App

The current version of the app will support a free tier where all students can access all scholarships but later we will limit the number of scholarships in the free tier and have a premium tier which will require a small amount of fee to access the whole package of scholarships.
