The Government of Indonesia is continuously striving to improve its education quality with the provision of scholarship programs, one of which is the Smart Indonesia Program (SIP). Students' interest in obtaining SIPs is increasing, but the selection process still relies on conventional methods. Without adequate IT support, the selection process for SIP scholarship candidates will be complex, less objective, and somewhat unfair. State Vocational High School (SVHS) 5 Surakarta was selected as a case study for this research to establish the selection process and the data collection methods used in previous years. The research aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) to assist in nominating students deemed eligible for SIP scholarship recommendations. The applied methods include Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA). Four criteria have been set in this DSS: card ownership status, total parental income, household income, and number of siblings. Each of which is further broken down into several sub-criteria and assigned a value for use in the AHP process. Upon comparing data from 2021 to 2023, it was found that the accuracy in 2021 was 92.9%, in 2022 it reached 94.7%, and in 2023 it recorded 92.3%. Based on the results of this system accuracy test, it can be concluded that the AHP and MOORA methods can be used to objectively produce recommendations for students eligible for SIP scholarships, based on the input criteria.
