Abstract

Higher education in Indonesia has several programs to help reduce the burden on students, one of which is through a scholarship program. Scholarships given can be obtained with the terms and conditions that apply at each university. Mitra Gama Institute of Technology is one of the private universities in the province of Riau which always runs a scholarship aid program. The problem that has been happening so far is that the procedures carried out are still using a document checking system without involving a weighting system and the right criteria and time constraints have always been an obstacle in determining scholarship recipients. This research was conducted as a solution to create an innovation in the form of making a computerized decision support system using criteria and weight values ​​so that scholarship recipients are on target. Composite performance index is the method used in this study. The purpose of this research is to create a decision support system for the selection of scholarship recipients to be more systematic and time efficient in the process. There are 5 alternatives used and 4 criteria, namely parents' income, GPA, electricity consumption and semester. The results of the research carried out were obtained the 5 highest composite index values, namely MHS4 with a value of 200.00, MHS1 with a value of 134.14, MHS5 with a value of 120.00, MHS3 with a value of 87.00 and MHS2 with a value of 85.71.
