Scholarship Management Information System for State University and Colleges in Rizal

Abstract

The paper aims to design and developed a scholarship management system to optimize the processes associated with scholarship applications, including validation, monitoring, and disbursement activities. In order to assess its efficacy, the system underwent evaluation in accordance with the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Standards, focusing on dimensions such as functional suitability, performance efficiency, usability, reliability, maintainability, security, and portability. A cohort of 161 participants, comprising scholars, scholarship coordinators, administrators, and IT professionals, contributed to the evaluative process. The results indicated that the system achieved an overall weighted mean score of 4.57, which corresponds to a verbal interpretation of "Highly Acceptable." The findings imply that the system satisfactorily addresses the functional and operational requirements of its users, thereby offering a dependable framework for the management of scholarship-related activities. In light of the evaluation outcomes, it is recommended that the University formally incorporate the SMIS and contemplate prospective enhancements through ongoing monitoring and additional research to optimize its influence on institutional operations.
