      Syarat pendaftaran beasiswa YCF berlaku per hari ini saat penerimaan. Artinya, bila setelah menerima beasiswa YCF, mendapat kesempatan untuk menerima beasiswa lain dan diperbolehkan menurut aturan beasiswa tersebut, tidak masalah.

  6. Besides the allowance, what other benefits can I get as a YCF scholarship recipient?
    Di samping uang saku, keuntungan apa yang saya bisa dapat sebagai penerima beasiswa YCF?


    • We at YCF want to support and help young Indonesians who have difficulty accessing information related to training, internships, jobs, and other personal development. Therefore, we provide one-on-one mentorship facilities to assist scholarship recipients in choosing career paths, internship companies, and more. Additionally, there are networking opportunities, training classes, and much more.

      Kami di organisasi YCF ingin mendukung dan membantu anak muda Indonesia yang kesulitan mendapat akses kepada pelatihan, magang, pekerjaan, dan program pengembangan diri lainnya. Karena itu, kami memberikan fasilitas mentorship 1o1 sebagai pendampingan yang nantinya membantu penerima beasiswa dalam memilih jalur karir, perusahaan magang, dan lainnya. Selain itu, mahasiswa juga diberi kesempatan networking, kelas pelatihan, dan masih banyak lagi.

  7. Are there specific majors or universities prioritized by YCF for scholarship recipients?
    Apakah ada jurusan tertentu atau universitas tertentu yang diprioritaskan YCF sebagai penerima beasiswa?


    • No. The YCF scholarship is inclusive, open to KIP scholarship recipients from any university and major. Our priority is the spirit, character, background, and aspirations of each individual scholarship candidate.

      Tidak. Beasiswa YCF bersifat inklusif, terbuka untuk penerima beasiswa KIP dari universitas dan jurusan manapun. Prioritas kami adalah semangat, karakter, latar belakang, serta aspirasi setiap individu calon penerima beasiswa

  8. Can non-KIP recipients apply for YCF Scholarship?
    Apakah mahasiswa/i non-KIP bisa mendaftar beasiswa YCF?


    The YCF scholarship began with a mission to assist students facing financial challenges in pursuing higher education. We are prioritizing KIP & Pemda scholarship recipients as the main beneficiaries, as they provide clear indicators of financial need. However, we are also opening up the opportunity to students who have clear economical barriers (based on a Letter of Indigency and other supporting documents) as part of the program. Keep in mind that our scholarship program is in its pilot phase and will only be able to service a limited group of students, hence our priority is to cater to groups that are vulnerable. We do not rule out the possibility that in the future, we may be able to reach a broader group of students.

    Beasiswa YCF dimulai dengan misi untuk membantu mahasiswa yang menghadapi tantangan finansial dalam mengejar pendidikan tinggi. Kami memprioritaskan penerima KIP dan beasiswa Pemda sebagai penerima utama, karena dapat menjadi indikator kebutuhan finansial yang jelas. Namun, kami juga membuka kesempatan bagi mahasiswa yang menghadapi kendala ekonomi (berdasarkan Surat Keterangan Tidak Mampu dan dokumen pendukung lainnya) sebagai bagian dari program ini. Harap diingat bahwa program beasiswa kami masih dalam tahap awal dan hanya dapat melayani sekelompok mahasiswa terbatas, oleh karena itu prioritas kami adalah melayani kelompok-kelompok yang rentan. Kami tidak menutup kemungkinan bahwa kedepannya, kami dapat menjangkau mahasiswa secara yang lebih luas.
