Dreams, Hope & Reality - LPDP Scholarship (The submission)

As I said on my previous post, I will tell you about this scholarship. LPDP is a scholarship given by Indonesia's Government for its citizen to pursue their degree. It can be either Master, PhD, in Indonesia, or abroad. The main goal for this program is to create a future leader that can bring Indonesia to a better place in the future. The detail about the scholarship can be found here, it has complete information about when to submit and what to submit. I will tell you briefly here and how I do it. 
First thing first, you need to make an account here, this scholarship open the whole year round, and I suggest you to complete all the requested document (except LOA) before you submit the application, this is to ensure that you pass the administration selection part. The documents need to be submitted (uploaded) are:

  1. Transcript of records
  2. Copy of Diploma
  3. ID Card (KTP)
  4. Study plan: What I do is translating my motivation letter, and add some more. This is basically what your plan is, what you will study, and what you are going to do after you graduated
  5. Essays: We need to submit two essays, one is what is your biggest success, and the other one is what you have contributed for Indonesia (the extensive skill of writing is needed here, or what we called "ngemeng")
  6. Recommendation letter: You can ask your professor, your boss (if you already working), or someone important in the society (if you currently unemployed, and don't have contact with your old professors)
  7. The letter of permission: You need to submit this if you already have a job, this is to ensure that the company you work for gives permission for you to continue studying
  8. Letter of Consent (Agreement): They have 6 points, you can see the details on their website
  9. IELTS or any other language test certificate: As I have told on the previous post, timing is important, so make sure that you already have your IELTS test result before you submit the application
After you have completed all the required documents, you can submit and wait for the announcement. If you pass they will text you and send the details through email, but don't expect them to be on time, the email can come last minutely, like a day before the exact date for interview and LGD. The next process after you pass the administration selection is Leaderless Group Discussion and interview

PS: If you want the copy of my essays, you can put your email in the comment, and I will send it to you

Good luck!!!!

Dreams, Hope, & Reality - LPDP Scholarship (LGD and Interview)

The next step after the administration process is Leaderless Group Discussion and interview. The process usually take 2 days, depends on your luck, some people finish it in 1 day. A day before the said schedule on their timeline, you will receive an email with details about the venue and which group are you in. All participant need to be there at 8 AM, my location was at STAN Student Center, Bintaro. Luckily my aunt lives in Bintaro, so I stayed over at her place which is 10 minutes away from the venue. Without further due, I will tell you about the process December 2nd I couldn't sleep the night before, I guess I was nervous. I woke up around 5ish, because we had to be there on 7.30. I left around 6.15, because I didn't want to be late. When I got there, the place is already crowded with hundreds of participant, I found an empty seat next to someone, I didn't really remember his name, we had a short conversation. There are lots of great people there, some of them are yo...

Living in Europe - Survival Guide (Part 1)

In this post I'll share information about what to do, what to bring, and what to have when you decided to become an Au Pair, or maybe when you decided to move to Netherlands for Travel, doesn't matter how you come here, I'm here to help you enjoy the most of it:   What to bring: Credit Card(s): Why? Well, you will need credit card to book plane ticket, hotel, etc. Make sure you have enough money on your bank account to pay your credit card. I use internet banking facility to pay my credit card bill. But if you don't have credit card, it should be fine, you can ask the hostfamily or maybe your friends to help you book the ticket. But for me it means less freedom, and sometimes they are too busy, and you'll miss the opportunity to get the cheap-promo ticket. It's your call :) Minimum amount of clothes: Why? Clothes here are cheaper than in your home country (at least for me, since I come from Indonesia), and you can get nice clothes and maybe branded stuff ...
