System and method for determining an amount of correlation between non-orthogonal vectors characterizing curricula participation

Abstract

Systems and methods for determining an amount of correlation between non-orthogonal vectors characterizing quantified curricula participation include generating a prioritization matrix for the scholarship including entries associated with ideal characteristics of scholarship applicants; generating an applicant attribute vector characterizing attributes of an applicant extracted from the application; calculating a product for each entry of the prioritization matrix by multiplying corresponding entries of the prioritization matrix and the applicant attribute vector; applying a weighting factor to the product for each entry of the prioritization matrix resulting in weighted products for each entry of the prioritization matrix; accumulating the weighted products into an applicant quality score indicating an amount of correlation between the prioritization matrix and the applicant attribute vector; transmitting an enhanced data packet to another computing device including the applicant attribute vector, the prioritization matrix, or the applicant quality score; and calculating a remaining scholarship budget.
