This case study covers only parts of several months of design process focusing mainly on my role within the project. I have retracted or changed portions of findings to conceal any confidential information.
Edvest is a platform that helps students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) apply for scholarships to universities in the UK. It is funded by leading investors in the UK and is specifically designed to make the process of applying for scholarships easier and more streamlined for students.
Using Edvest, students can search for scholarships based on their interests and academic goals, and then submit their application directly through the platform. This saves time and effort, as students no longer have to navigate the individual scholarship application processes of each university.In addition to simplifying the application process, Edvest also provides students with access to a network of advisors and experts who can help them choose the right scholarship and prepare a strong application. This can be especially helpful for students who are unfamiliar with the UK university system or who need guidance on how to stand out in the scholarship application process.
Overall, Edvest is a valuable resource for students in the UAE who are interested in studying in the UK and looking for financial support to make it possible.
Edvest was seeking a consolidated, online platform where students could browse and apply for scholarships in a single location.
The platform includes a series of application portals, which allow students to browse and apply for scholarships in a single location. This saves time and effort, as students no longer have to navigate the individual scholarship application processes of each university.
In addition to the application portals, Edvest also includes a system for tracking the status of scholarship applications. This helps students stay informed about the progress of their applications and allows them to follow up if necessary.

To design the admin dashboard, the team would need to consider the specific needs and requirements of the Edvest experts who will be using it. This could include things like the types of information that need to be displayed, the layout and design of the dashboard, and any additional features or functionality that would be useful for the experts to have.
