Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Seleksi Penerima Beasiswa Yayasan Pada SMK Imelda Medan Menggunakan Metode Topsis

Abstract

Foundation scholarships are scholarships whose funding comes from foundations that are intended for high achieving and economically disadvantaged students, which aim to prevent dropouts from occurring for students. At this time, at SMK Imelda Medan there is no supporting system to help select from the many students to get scholarships, it is necessary to build a decision support system for scholarships so that it can help the school administration in providing solutions to determine the recipients of foundation scholarships in SMK Imelda Medan, so that the data obtained is more accurate. The method used in the scholarship decision support system in this study is the Technique For Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. This method was chosen because it is able to provide recommendations for foundation scholarship recipients. The process of giving yaysan scholarships is based on the criteria used in the form of physical disabilities, victims of disaster (Tsunami, flood, flood and landslide), and victims of layoffs (manual labor, factories).
