Bank Indonesia Socializes Bank Indonesia Scholarships and Education to ULM Students

Banjarmasin – Indonesia as a developing country has big challenges in increasing access to higher education for its people. Even though there is a lot of potential and talent in society, participation rates in higher education are still low. In this context, Bank Indonesia (BI) has a strong commitment to play an active role in advancing the education sector in Indonesia. As Bank Indonesia Frontliners, GenBI has an obligation to communicate Bank Indonesia institutions and various policies such as Bank Indonesia Scholarships to fellow students and the general public.

Together with the GenBI Community, the Bank Indonesia Representative Office for South Kalimantan Province is actively socializing the 2024 Bank Indonesia Scholarship and Education program for Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) Students which was held on Thursday (7/3/2024) at the Lecture Theater of the ULM Faculty of Economics and Business.

Head of Representative of Bank Indonesia South Kalimantan Province Wahyu Pratomo, ULM Rector Prof. Dr. Ahmad, S.E., M.Si, ULM Deputy Chancellors, academics, resource persons from Bank Indonesia, and ULM female students. This socialization is the second socialization, after the first socialization was carried out at UIN Antasari.

This socialization is expected to be a bridge for BI to pick up ULM students in order to provide information and knowledge as well as motivation to obtain scholarships. This activity will provide an explanation regarding the stages of becoming part of GenBI South Kalimantan.

“For me, the BI Scholarship is a prestigious scholarship for higher education academics,” said the Rector of ULM

This is certainly a breath of fresh air for ULM, especially students, to be able to seize this extraordinary opportunity. The Chancellor really appreciates and has high hopes for students so they can take this opportunity

“This activity will provide extraordinary benefits for all ULM students and this will give ULM students extraordinary hope,” he added.
