The Indonesia International Student Mobility Award (IISMA) is a scholarship scheme from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia to fund Indonesian students to study at well-known universities abroad. Students can spend up to one semester at an overseas partner university to study, learn about the culture of the host country, and do practical assignments to hone their skills.
