FKIP – Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program Student Association (Himprobsi) Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Educational Sciences (FKIP) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held a webinar entitled “Scholarship on the Way to Cita (Bes Wanita)” online through the Zoom Meeting application. Held on Thursday (10/2/2022), the webinar presented 4 scholarship recipients to share their struggles and experiences in getting the scholarship.

Moderated by Ridwan Himawan as Chairman of Himprobsi, the webinar was packaged in the form of a discussion. That is, after the presentation of the material by the 4 resource persons, the activity was continued with a question and answer session. Meanwhile, the speaker who presented the material for the first time was Aldi Dwi Saputra. He is a student of the 2017 Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (Prodi) FKIP UNS and a Masters Scholarship Recipient at the Sebelas Maret University Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP).

In his presentation, he explained the material regarding the general description, types, general and special requirements, the cost components provided, to tips on getting the LPDP Scholarship. According to him, the first step that must be prepared to take part in the LPDP Scholarship selection is to learn to master English and become a student with character.

“In my opinion, there are several ways that must be prepared early to get the LPDP Scholarship. The first way is to start learning English. Based on my experience, the LPDP Scholarship selection process consists of a written selection and an interview. Well, at the time of the interview selection it was all in English. Therefore, you have to start studying TOEFL and also speak in English. The second way is to become students with character, both as entrepreneurs, social activists, and as students who excel, “explained Aldi.

The second resource person is Mipa Tiyasmala, S.Pd. He is a 2016 PBSI Study Program student and a UNS Achievement Scholarship Recipient. He explained the material about the facilities, requirements, registration steps, to the consequences if you didn’t graduate on time or resigned from the UNS Achievement Scholarship.

“Registration for the UNS Achievement Scholarship is done by filling out the registration form through the UNS SPMB website, paying the registration fee, uploading documents, and taking the exam. Six documents must be uploaded, namely a diploma or graduation certificate, transcript of academic grades, a letter of willingness to refund UKT, a letter of willingness from a supervisor, a letter of willingness to pass with the condition of publication in an international journal indexed by Scopus as well as TPA and TOEFL certificates, “explained Mipa.

Then, the third speaker was Fadhiya Inasarisa. He is a 2018 PBSI Study Program Student and Recipient of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) Excellence Scholarship. In his presentation, he explained the material regarding the general description, quotas, requirements, and tips for participating in the Selection of Superior Scholarships.

“In my opinion, to take part in the Kemendikbud Excellence Scholarship selection, there are several things that must be prepared, including getting up early to seek information, don’t be lazy with administrative forms, and don’t be shy about asking because each scholarship has its standards,” explained Fadhiya.

Meanwhile, the last resource person was Nathanael Feby Raenaldi. He is a student of the 2017 PBSI Study Program and a Recipient of the Ministry of Education and Culture Excellence Scholarship. On that occasion, he completed the material that had been presented by Fadhiya, namely tips on compiling an essay which was one of the administrative requirements for the Kemdikbud Superior Scholarship.

“In participating in the selection of the Kemdikbud Superior Scholarship, make an attractive CV and personal statement so that you can convince the organizers. Write a CV that favors self-potential, such as the activities followed, achievements, and others. As for the personal statement, the minimum is 1500 words, according to yourself, don’t make it up, and use the appropriate language, “explained Nathanael.
