Background of the study
Financial aid plays a crucial role in enabling students from diverse economic backgrounds to access higher education. However, the process of determining eligibility for financial aid is often complex and time-consuming, requiring the analysis of various factors such as academic performance, family income, and personal circumstances. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to automate and streamline the financial aid eligibility prediction process. AI systems can analyze large datasets and identify patterns to predict which students are likely to be eligible for financial assistance. In Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, implementing an AI-based financial aid eligibility prediction system could enhance the efficiency and fairness of the selection process. By leveraging AI, the university can provide quicker and more accurate assessments, ensuring that deserving students are identified and supported in a timely manner.
Statement of the problem
The financial aid application process at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, is currently manual and time-consuming, which can result in delays in providing assistance to students who need it the most. Additionally, there is often a lack of transparency and consistency in determining eligibility, leading to dissatisfaction and concerns about fairness. Implementing an AI-based system for predicting financial aid eligibility could address these challenges by automating the process and making it more objective, accurate, and efficient. AI can analyze students’ academic records, financial status, and other relevant factors to provide a reliable prediction of eligibility for financial assistance.
Objectives of the study
1. To design and implement an AI-based financial aid eligibility prediction system at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
2. To evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the AI-based system in predicting students’ eligibility for financial aid.
3. To assess the impact of the AI system on improving the efficiency and fairness of the financial aid allocation process.
Research questions
1. How accurate is the AI-based financial aid eligibility prediction system in determining which students are eligible for financial assistance?
2. What impact does the AI system have on the efficiency of the financial aid process at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma?
3. How do students and university staff perceive the fairness and transparency of the AI-based financial aid eligibility system?
Research hypotheses
1. The AI-based financial aid eligibility prediction system will provide more accurate results than the current manual process.
2. The implementation of the AI-based system will lead to a faster financial aid processing time.
3. The AI-based system will be perceived as fairer and more transparent by students and university staff.
Significance of the study
This research will provide insights into the effectiveness of AI in automating financial aid eligibility prediction, offering a more efficient and accurate method for allocating financial assistance. The findings could contribute to the adoption of AI technologies in higher education institutions, improving both access to financial aid and the overall student experience.
Scope and limitations of the study
The study will focus on the design and implementation of the AI-based financial aid eligibility prediction system at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State. Limitations include challenges related to the availability of comprehensive student data and the need for university staff to adapt to new AI-driven processes.
