Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)

Congratulations on winning the social impact prize in the Chainlink hackathon! I briefly looked at your project description and the images describing the system:

and thought your system might be able to gain more privacy and/or control for the students by using the self sovereign identity. That way students are able to only share information they consider relevant.

Furthermore, the enhanced SSI with educational certificates and diplomas could remove the need for control over the eligibility of students for any crowd-funded scholarships, and eliminate the need for cooperation of academic institutes. (Assuming that enhanced SSI could contain sufficiently frequently updated grades).

However, perhaps that is not in line with your intentions, and perhaps you deliberately intend/trust the academic institutes to select who is eligible for the scholarships. Either way, awesome initiative!
