Scholarships
The IRS students have been supported by various partial and full scholarships from different institutions. Information about available scholarships may change from time to time. Therefore, if there are any updates or opportunities related to scholarships, the IRS Program will publish the information through its official website. In general, prospective students are responsible for submitting their own scholarship applications. However, the IRS Program is happy to provide support when needed during the application process.
The IRS Program strongly encourages prospective Indonesian students to explore scholarship opportunities from LPDP. Currently, a significant number of IRS students pursue their studies with support from LPDP scholarships.
Prospective students are encouraged to regularly visit the IRS Program website for the latest information regarding scholarship opportunities and application support.
