This scholarship is something that has its own added value compared to other scholarships. And as evidenced by the existence of this scholarship for 70 years, it turns out that many of these alumni have also contributed in their respective fields in government and business. This proves that it is indeed not only in terms of education but also career and life in the future," said Valerina.
