Proses seleksi penerima beasiswa Bidik Misi merupakan proses pengambilan

keputusan berdasarkan beberapa kriteria. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu model dan
metode yang mampu menyelesaikan persoalan pengambilan keputusan kriteria
majemuk. Model Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) merupakan salah satu metode
yang cukup efektif dalam perancangan Sistem Pendukung Keputusan berdasarkan
kriteria majemuk. Konsep dasar metode SAW adalah mencari penjumlahan terbobot
dari rating kinerja pada setiap alternatif calon penerima beasiswa pada semua
kriterianya. Metode SAW membutuhkan proses normalisasi matriks keputusan ke
