Abstract

Underprivileged scholarships are assistance provided by government or institutions to students from poor families. Scholarships can be given to all students at the education level from elementary school to higher education with certain conditions and criteria. However, in reality many scholarships are given that are not on target. This is because of the number of students who register as scholarship recipients. Therefore, it is necessary to have a decision support system in order to aid the selection process. This study aims to find appropriate system to aid the underprivileged scholarship selection. This study proposed a system which was built using PHP for programming languages and using MySQL as its database using the Simple Additive Weighting method. Data is taken from SMK Sultan Agung 1 Jombang. Data is then analyzed and tested using the Blackbox testing method. Results of this research obtained a list of the best ranks of prospective scholarship recipients which are result of processing from system. The results obtained from system will be validated by means of comparisons with manual calculations as in Table 1. The validation results show same results, so that system can be said to be valid and can replace process that is done manually. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
