Abstract

Scholarships are gifts in the form of financial assistance given to individuals who aim to be used for the continuity of education pursued. Scholarships can be given by government institutions, companies or foundations. Abdi Wacana Christian High School opened scholarships for underprivileged students with several agreed criteria. Problems that often occur every time a scholarship is accepted, many students apply for scholarships on condition that they will, but not all are approved, with unclear reasons. Because almost all students come from underprivileged families, for that they expect help that can ease the burden on their parents. From the problems that exist, the author designed a decision support system to provide the right solution for scholarship recipients, so that the decisions taken can be more optimal. Because the Decision Support System is an interactive system that supports decisions in the decision making process through alternatives obtained from the results of data processing, information and model design. So from that, a decision support system is very helpful in resolving decision making, which in our opinion is very difficult to resolve
