Determination of Scholarship Recipients Using Simple Additive Weighting Method

Abstract

This paper presents Simple Additive Weighting method to determine scholarship recipients. Sharing scholarships are undertaken by several institutions to help someone who is less able or achieving during his studies. To assist the determination in determining someone who is eligible to receive a scholarship then needed a decision support system. One method that can be used for Decision Support System is by using Fuzzy MADM (Multi Attribute Decision Making). In this research will be raised a case that is looking for the best alternative based on criteria to perform calculation of FMADM method in the case. This method is chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives, in this case the intended alternative is that eligible to receive scholarship based on the criteria specified. Research is done by finding the weight value for each attribute, then done the ranking process that will determine the optimal alternative, the best student.
