There are several criteria and requirements that have to be fulfilled to get the scholarship. In practice, all the requirements will be checked manually for each applicant to determine who deserves to be granted the scholarship. Therefore, the process of determining the scholarship grantee can take very long time. To help the decision maker of scholarship grantee, a decision support system is needed. Thus, this study aims to design the decision support system to help the decision maker in determining the applicant to be chosen as scholarship grantee.

Data was collected from the scholarship mechanism in one of private university in Bandung, Indonesia. There are five criteria to be considered in this study.
