Underprivileged scholarships are assistance provided by the government or institutions to students from poor families. Scholarships can be given to all students at the education level from elementary school to higher education with certain conditions and criteria. However, in reality many scholarships are given that are not on target. This is because of the number of students who register as scholarship recipients. Therefore, it is necessary to have a decision support system in order to aid the selection process. This study aims to find appropriate system to aid the underprivilaged scholarship selection. This study proposed a system which was built using PHP for programming languages and using MySQL as its database using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. Data is taken from SMK Sultan Agung 1 Jombang. Data is then analyzed and tested using the Blackbox testing method. The results of the study prove that Simple Additive Weighting can be used as a support system to help implement students in prospective scholarship recipients.
