ONNSFA scholarship app: Increasing technology information

Solution Pitch

The Problem

According to the 2018 census, 5,950 out of 13,210 students in the Navajo Nation were denied scholarship assistance due to missing documents in the application process. Factors that contribute to the issues are lack of communication, relying on outdated technology, and limited transparency.

The Solution

ONNSFA scholarship app was developed to decrease the obstacles within the Navajo Nation scholarship process by centralizing and streamlining communication and distribution of necessary documents. The goal is to use the app as a stepping stone for creating a platform that can be used for larger projects within the Navajo Nation government.
