Using Sharepoint as an archival and document management

Question

Hello, 
I was asked by my manager to look for possible solutions to convert our archive paper file cabinets that are full of student records into digital format. We do not utilize sharepoint yet at the school but I was researching and found that sharepoint does a good
job in archiving and content management. The ultimate goal for us is:
1-  to be able to scan the documents in the file cabinets and save them into folders on sharepoint. We want to be able to create a folder under a specific students' name and then scan all documents related to that student into that specific folder. 
2- Give permission to specific staff members to access and search for docs by student name. 
I wanted to ask if  and how this is possible to achieve by Sharepoint knowing that we have an estimate of 120,0000 paper docs to scan. 
I would much appreciate your help. 
Thanks! 
Nancy
