Go Scholarship is one of the Student Executive Board (BEM) events of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) that has attracted a lot of student attention. The Go Scholarship event, held at the Fadjar Notonegoro Hall, FEB Campus B, on Wednesday (August 12), was attended by approximately 700 students. This time, BEM FEB chose the theme "With Scholarship We Can Fly Higher," featuring a talk show, seminar, and workshop.
A quote by literary figure Seno Gumira A., "How beautiful is a dream if it remains a dream?", was used to motivate students in a workshop on creating a curriculum vitae (CV) with speaker Annisa Rochmasari, S.Hum. Annisa explained that CVs should be structured. She said they should be no longer than two pages, with a leading section that is relevant to the program being presented.
While in a motivation letter, it's not necessary to list skills. However, this also depends on the scholarship chosen.
One of the scholarships available in Indonesia is the one provided by Bank Indonesia. The Bank Indonesia Scholarship has been in existence since 2011, reaching 89 universities and covering 18,565 students from 2011 to 2018.
Wayan Sri Widhiastuti, ST, MMT, explained that the Bank Indonesia scholarship is offered annually and can be repeated twice depending on certain criteria. Students receiving scholarships from other institutions are not eligible to receive the BI scholarship.
Meanwhile, the LPDP (Lembaga Pension Fund for Development) is one of the most highly anticipated scholarships. Language skills are crucial for both the regular and superior pathways. Furthermore, skills are tested through an on-the-spot essay of approximately 250 words. Skills and insights are assessed through the test results, including documents and interviews.
In this event, there were scholarship booths from various corners such as the Karya Salemba Empat (KSE) scholarship, Bank Indonesia (BI) scholarship, PPA scholarship, and other scholarships that supported the excitement of the Go Scholarship event.
