Abstract
Many high school graduates do not go on to higher education due to the high cost of education. To address this issue, the government, educational institutions and related parties can work together to find solutions to reduce financial barriers and increase access to higher education. In finding prospective students who are eligible to receive scholarships, the government must be fair and precise in making decisions regarding KIP scholarship recipients. This research uses EDAS and VIKOR methods in the selection of prospective KIP scholarship recipients at Malikussaleh University. This study uses historical data of previous KIP scholarship recipients as test data, where there are 6 criteria used, namely parent status, parent income, number of parent dependents, parent employment, parent home ownership, and parent home area. The application of the EDAS method resulted in Fauzi (230510004) as the first rank with an AS value of 0.850; then Hernita Ceria (230180023) as the second rank with an AS value of 0.791; and Ipadayan (230340033) as the third rank with an AS value of 0.789. In the application of the VIKOR method results, Halimah Murni (230210176) as the first rank with a Q value of 0.000; then Nauval Alzabar (230110077) as the second rank with a Q value of 0.015; and Muhammad Bukhari (230110040) as the third rank with a Q value of 0.024. 4. The results of this study state that the EDAS and VIKOR methods are methods that have different types. The EDAS method ranks alternatives based on their distance from the average solution, resulting in a ranking of alternatives based on how close they are to the optimal solution. While the VIKOR method ranks alternatives and provides the best compromise solution that best matches the applied criteria.
