<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the fact that scholarship recipient data management at MTsN 6 Agam is still conducted manually, resulting in slow data entry, administrative delays, and a high potential for errors in student data processing. The purpose of this study is to design a decision support system for selecting scholarship recipients using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method, which is valid, practical, and effective. The research method used is Research and Development with a waterfall development model, which includes the stages of communication, planning, modeling, construction, and implementation. The research data consists of prospective scholarship recipients evaluated based on criteria such as economic conditions, academic achievement, parental financial obligations, and other supporting factors. The system design was carried out using the Unified Modeling Language and database design, then implemented in the form of software. System testing was conducted using black-box testing. The research results indicate that the developed system has a validity level of 0.92 (highly valid), a practicality level of 0.98 (highly practical), and an effectiveness level of 0.87 (effective). The application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process method was able to improve the accuracy and speed of the selection process compared to manual methods and reduce the potential for errors in decision-making. Thus, the developed system is suitable for use as a tool to support the selection of scholarship recipients at MTsN 6 Agam.]]>
