The aim of this project is to developed a centralized portal that gather and provide scholarships information available over the Internet. There are several objectives that has been achieve which are to gather and analyse the requirement needed to develop an e-scholarship system, to analyse and identify the suitable web scraping technique, to design an e-scholarship system based on the analysed requirement and to develop an e-scholarship system based on the design. There are few problems occurred which are the student had difficulty to search for scholarship information and opportunities. Besides, there are no portal that gather and provide the scholarships information that allow students to find about scholarships. Next, the student had difficulty to contact with administrators of UiTM (Melaka) Kampus Jasin to apply for confirmation letter.

From the findings, the suitable technique can be used to develop the system is web scraping technique to obtain the data from desired website and it will be stored into database.

The recommendations for future enhancement of the system that can be made is the E-Scholarship System can be integrated with another existing system that use by the student and admin of UiTM (Melaka) Kampus Jasin in order to create the better system and it can reduce certain features that no longer needed in the system.
