This study aims to identify the implementation of the merit system in talent management for scholarship selection at the Directorate General of Budget, Ministry of Finance. Through a case study, this research examines how well merit principles such as fairness, transparency, objectivity, and accountability have been applied in the selection process. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the quality of governance, particularly in human resource management through the talent management program for scholarship selection.
