In partnership with Siswa Bangsa Foundation
“To increase access to quality education to financially-disadvantaged students with strong academic performance and who possess leadership skills and a sound sense of social responsibility”.
The Foundation has granted more than 32,000 scholarships, from elementary to graduate levels, to financially deserving students across Indonesia. These students must exhibit good academic performance and a strong sense of social responsibility. These scholars had to undergo a stringent qualification process which included academic tests, psychological profiling, focus discussion groups and interviews by various experts.
At the tertiary level, the Foundation offers scholarships for overseas MBA programs at prestigious universities such as the Harvard Business School, Haas School of Business, Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania) and other leading business schools across the globe.
This program also provided financial support in the form of student loans for undergraduate and post graduate students which were a joint effort between Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII), International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Putera Sampoerna Foundation.
As part of the program, the Foundation provides a support infrastructure for scholars to participate in. This includes the SF Scholar’s Club, which promotes participation in social activities to benefit the community, and the Alumni network, which supports continuous service and contribution to society.
