Research on Scholarship System in Universities Based on AHP-EWM Combined Empowerment Method

Abstract

It is crucial to scientifically evaluate students' excellence and to study the motivating effect of scholarships on students. In this paper, we develop a merit-based scholarship system that focuses on students' overall ability and is tailored to individual students. Firstly, the data in the annexes are pre-processed to eliminate the unqualified data and quantify the definite category data in them, and then a three-level evaluation index system is established to determine the overall performance of students, including 4 secondary indicators and 11 tertiary indicators. The weight of each tertiary indicator to the secondary indicators is determined by the entropy weighting method, and then the weight of the secondary indicators to the primary indicators is determined by the AHP-EWM combined weighting method, and finally the TOPSIS method is used to quantify and rank the students' comprehensive performance, and the scholarship is divided into school-level first, second and third grades, and the students with the top grades are selected for the award.
