INTRODUCTION

The utilization of chatbot technology on the barangay website represents an

innovative and intelligent approach to bridge the gap between scholarship seekers and

scholarship sponsors. Chatbots, equipped with natural language processing capabilities,

offer a user-friendly and readily available interface that simplifies the process of

obtaining essential information, understanding eligibility requirements, staying

informed about application deadlines, and fulfilling paperwork requirements. These

conversational AI entities are designed to provide personalized assistance and answers

to frequently asked questions, ensuring that students and sponsors receive timely and

accurate information.

This study sets out to investigate the crucial connection between technology,

community improvement, and education. The modern barangay serves an important

function in local governance and public service, including the spreading of information

about scholarship possibilities. It is the smallest administrative entity in the Philippines.

By utilizing cutting-edge digital solutions, this project seeks to address the demand for

improved accessibility and involvement with scholarship programs. The barangay

website's use of chatbot technology is an innovative approach for bridging the gap

between scholarship seekers and scholarship sponsors. With their natural language

processing abilities, chatbots provide a user-friendly and always-available interface that

makes it simple for people to obtain important information, eligibility requirements,

application deadlines, and paperwork needs. The purpose of this study is to investigate

the impact of this multidimensional approach, namely how a comprehensive website,

supplemented by chatbot support, might inspire higher engagement and participation in

scholarship programs at the barangay level.
