Project: naija-scholar-atlas # ScholarNaija (Naija Scholar Atlas) ScholarNaija helps Nigerian students discover scholarships from universities, governments, NGOs, foundations, and international organizations around the world — all in one trustworthy, easy-to-search place. > Built on top of a Dala Studio–generated React scaffold and refined into a portfolio-ready startup MVP. ## Table of Contents - Overview - Features - Technology Stack - Installation - Running Locally - Folder Structure - Data Layer / Mock Data Notice - Accessibility - Future Improvements ## Overview Nigerian students routinely lose out on funded education simply because scholarship information is scattered across hundreds of websites, PDFs, and word-of-mouth.
