The Kemitraan Negara Bekembang (KNB) Scholarship was first introduced by Ministry of Education and Culture in 1992. It initially serves the Ministry’s higher education development strategic plan to embrace the higher education globalization by providing financial assistance (scholarship) to selected Indonesian Universities to recruit potential International students to get their master degree in those Universities.
However, considering how this program has been significantly contribute in the human resources development in our neighboring developing countries, we decided to expand the program coverage and subsequently the number of scholarship offered has been significantly increased. Between 2009 –
2018 periods, we have been awarding 1.163 scholarships to students coming from
71 developing countries around the world. We know that most of future applicants might be thinking: is spending 3 years in Indonesia to obtain their master degree worth it? And the answer is a resounding yes, getting the KNB scholarship and going to a master degree program in Indonesia
is strategically worth it. Their master degree will be one of the most lucrative investments they will make and that KNB scholarship can be vital to their postcollege success while engaging in the most diverse and vibrant society in the world.
Moreover, the program is very important not only to advance their knowledge and develop their competencies but also in certain degrees will strengthen the relationship between Indonesia and its neighboring developing countries by helping them nurturing their future leader. Considering the recent development and potentials, we have adjusted the KNB scholarship application guidance to give the potential applicants as much information as possible on how to apply for the scholarship, and also highlight the best ways to boost their chances of receiving this scholarship. We do hope that this
scholarship guidance will adequately help the potential applicants to apply for the scholarship and to understand and comply with the scholarship rules and regulations.
