Analysis and Development of a Decision Support System for Selection of Prospective KIP Scholarship Recipients

Abstract

Global Institute of Technology and Business Campus (Global Institute) is one of the campuses that organizes the KIP (Kartu Indonesia Pintar) scholarship program. This program aims to increase access to education for children from disadvantaged families and provide them with financial support. The research methods used are needs analysis, system design, and prototype implementation. This research collects data from various sources, including personal data of prospective scholarship recipients, academic data, family income data, and other relevant factors. The data collected is then analyzed using appropriate decision making methods, such as the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and TOPSIS methods. A Decision Support System is an interactive platform that helps make decisions efficiently and effectively in the process by presenting alternatives resulting from data processing, information, and the design of interactive computer-based models or systems. This platform provides support to decision makers in utilizing data and models to overcome unstructured problems.
