Scholarship Insight
Description
The NHSC and Nurse Corps Scholarship reviewers need to receive and score thousands of essays submitted and the manual process delays the application processes. We are looking forward to building a Generative AI program that looks at all of the previous essays and how the scoring rubric was done and train it to do the first cut at scoring the essays. This could enhance the fairness and efficiency of scholarship evaluations, ensuring a thorough review process that supports equitable student opportunities.
Detailed example
The Scholarship Insight (SI) is designed to support the evaluation of scholarship essays for both the NHSC and Nurse Corps Scholarship Programs by providing detailed analysis to human graders. Aligning with directives to ensure human oversight, SI identifies key themes, strengths, and weaknesses in essays, facilitating a more informed grading process without replacing human judgment. Current planning leverages Cloud-based services, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Text Analysis, LLM API and Data analysis tools for the implementation.
