KNB Scholarship 2024
Kemitraan Negara Berkembang Scholarship, known as the KNB Scholarship, is a financial aid offered by the Government of Indonesia to prospective international students coming from developing countries to pursue their master’s degree at one of the universities in Indonesia. This scholarship was prepared in the 10th Conference of Heads of State of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), 1st st-6th September 1992. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia began offering scholarships to prospective students from NAM member countries the following year. The regional exclusivity of the scholarship was revoked in 2002 because it had developed global interest.
That’s when the scholarship was officially renamed the Developing Country Partnership Scholarship (KNB) and the recipients were no longer limited to NAM member countries. To date, the scholarship has also been offered to other developing countries in Asia, the Pacific, South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe. In the end, this scholarship is expected to build people-to-people relations between Indonesia and the recipient countries. It aims to nurture their future leaders. KNB offers the experience of studying at a leading university in Indonesia and at the same time living in one of the world’s most diverse and vibrant societies. By earning scholarships, students will experience quality graduate programs managed by twenty university partners. Their degree will enhance their intellectual standing, develop their competencies, and open up broader professional opportunities, the foundation for post-college success. Of course, they will also be able to enjoy first-hand experience of living in a multicultural and multilingual society.
The KNB scholarship is expected to build person-to-person relations between Indonesian citizens and recipient nationals, as well as strengthen bilateral relations between the Republic of Indonesia and the recipient’s home country. At the individual level, the KNB Scholarship aims to develop the potential of young people from developing countries who are expected to become national and global leaders. At the level of relations between countries, the KNB Scholarship is Indonesia’s contribution to development in developing countries and also bilateral relations between Indonesia and recipient countries.
