Abstract

Education through Science and Technology (S&T), is an important factor in the development of a country. By investing in higher education, the country generates more researchers and scientists to help solve scientific and economic problems. In support of generating more S&T skilled workforce in the country, DOST-SEI provides scholarship programs to deserving students giving them an opportunity to pursue their studies and contribute to the development of the country. Scholar graduates provided relevant information to improve the scholarship administration of DOST-SEI using the tracer studies. This paper explores the impact of the tracer study data using AHP and Decision Hierarchy Table to support the decision-making process and policy recommendations. The study seeks to determine indicators that will be most appropriate to assess the success of the scholars in three different levels of development. It is hoped that this study will provide information about the individual, institutional and societal impact of the scholar-graduates.
