Come on, read on to learn more about how to qualify for this scholarship.Getting a scholarship is the dream of most students, isn't it? You can get various kinds of scholarships in the Undiksha environment in a serious way and have the ability to meet the criteria needed when the scholarship selection process takes place. The Bank Indonesia scholarship is one of the scholarships that uses the selection system.Bank Indonesia Scholarships are merit-based scholarships offered by Bank Indonesia to undergraduate students at various tertiary institutions, both public and private.To get this scholarship, of course, is not easy and requires a special strategy in the midst of a lot of competition and limited quotas in each department that will get the scholarship.

So, on this occasion, I will share tips and tricks for passing the Bank Indonesia scholarship. Tips and tricks for passing the Bank Indonesia scholarship are divided into several sections, some of which are as follows:

Upgrade your semester GPA as best you can.

Getting a Bank Indonesia scholarship is certainly not easy, but with maximum preparation, it will provide considerable opportunities, one of which is to improve the GPA every semester. For friends who have the goal of getting a Bank Indonesia scholarship, it would be nice to always improve their GPA in each semester, so that when the selection process for receiving a Bank Indonesia scholarship begins, our GPA is already in the range of the best GPA scores among the previous semesters.

Tips to note:

Do every assignment seriously.
communicative and interactive in every lecture session.
Avoid skipping or not attending lectures for reasons that are not clear.
active in student organizations

Being active in student organizations, both HMJ and BEM Faculty, and BEM Rema Undiksha, provides a lot of benefits that can be taken, especially to get a Bank Indonesia scholarship. In an effort to prepare future leaders through Bank Indonesia scholarships, students must have good leadership skills, be able to survive in an organizational environment, and have carried out community activities. Aside from that, by being active in an organization, we will receive a large number of certificates (SK) equal to the number of activities we have participated in since joining the organization.Now, the charter and decree can later be used as one of the administrative requirements.

Tips to pay attention to:

Always prioritize academic matters over organizational ones, because we study for organizations, not organizations for lectures.
Every activity that gets an SK or charter is maintained properly.
Choose a student organization that makes you grow, both in terms of relationships and in terms of reasoning skills, public speaking, and so on.
Prepare administrative files properly.

After making preparations by getting the highest possible GPA in each semester, the next step is to properly prepare administrative files. Preparing administrative files properly is the initial selection step to determine whether we pass the next stage or not. At this stage, students are required to be careful and thorough with the administrative files needed for the selection process. Considering that the administrative files for Bank Indonesia scholarships are not small,

Tips to note:

Prepare all the requested registration files before the specified deadline.
Include achievement certificates, academic activity certificates, chancellor's decrees, and so on that can support the consideration of the Bank Indonesia scholarship application registration file.
Make an attractive CV and motivation letter.
Double-check all administrative files before they are collected or submitted.
Make an attractive CV.

An interesting curriculum vitae provides an opportunity for readers to find out the extent of our academic and non-academic experiences in studying at the Ganesha University of Education. In compiling an attractive CV, here are some tips that need attention.

Make a CV with an academic-based model.
Pay attention to the grammar used, namely, good and standard Indonesian. The language used in this CV can be either Indonesian or English.
Later, create outstanding motivation.

In addition to preparing an attractive CV, one of the more challenging requirements is creating an "outstanding" (extraordinary) motivational letter. A good motivation letter that has clear objectives can answer the reasons why we should receive the Bank Indonesia scholarship.

Tips to note:

Adjust the requirements needed in compiling a motivation letter, whether it's page boundaries, the font used, or the font size.
Write your motivation honestly and interestingly.
Prepare for the Interview Stage Well,

The interview stage is carried out when we are declared to have passed the administrative selection stage (stage 1). Some tips that must be considered in order to pass the interview stage are as follows:

Use the dress code according to the provisions previously submitted.
Be present on time.
Relax and be straightforward when answering questions.
Pray before starting the interview.
Pray and ask for the blessing of your parents.

After going through all of these stages and waiting for the announcement to be made, don't forget to pray and ask for your parents' blessing, friends.

So, those are the tricks and tips that I can give to all of you SIFORS friends. By the way, that's all based on my experience. Later, when you succeed in getting an Indonesian bank scholarship, you will join the new Indonesian generation community, or what can be abbreviated as GenBI. Hopefully, in the future, both SIFORS and GenBI will be superior in your hands. That's it. Thank you.
