ScholarAI is an intelligent web application designed to help students find scholarships that match their personal and academic profile.
It combines automated web scraping, strict eligibility matching, and an AI-powered SOP (Statement of Purpose) generator.

Students often miss suitable scholarships due to scattered information and complex eligibility criteria.
ScholarAI solves this problem by:

• Automatically collecting scholarship data
• Showing only strictly eligible scholarships
• Helping students generate professional SOPs using AI
