Kaliurang (UII News) – Bidikmisi is an educational assistance program from the government aimed at underprivileged youths of the nation so they can study at universities. This program collaborates with a number of universities throughout Indonesia, both public and private. The children who receive this scholarship program are expected to have great potential to be able to contribute to developing Indonesia.

The Central Java-DIY Bidikmisi Regional Conference is a friendly activity between bidikmisi scholarship recipients throughout Central Java-DIY. Here it is hoped that everyone can exchange information and jointly contribute to building the surrounding environment.

 It's the first time Universitas Islam Indonesia hosted the Central Java-DIY Bidikmisi V Regional Conference. This event is fully supported by Student Affairs Universitas Islam Indonesia and sponsored by Mitra Catering.

 This was explained by Indra Wahono Suhariyanto, UII Faculty of Medicine student as the organizing committee  The Regional Conference, which lasted for three days, on Friday – Sunday, 25 – 27 March 2016 / 16 -18 Jumadil Akhir 1437 H, took place at the General Lecture Building, UII.

 Furthermore, Indra explained that, while at UII, those representing PTN and PTS each stayed at UII Putra's Rusunawa Putra, as did the committee. Even though it is in one place, the committee still refers to the true teachings of Islam. So that the boys are on the second floor, while the girls are on the third and fourth floors along with the daughter committee.

 Meanwhile, the number of universities that sent their delegations was 66 universities from Central Java-DIY. This exceeds the number of confirmations received, only about 50 universities who reported that they would come.

 This deliberation event began on March 25 2016 with a series of seminars and entertainment. This seminar discussed the Importance of Education for Developing Countries and LPDP scholarships. Where it is hoped that Bidikmisi students who will continue their Masters can join the LPDP scholarship. Where the performers are Prof. Akhmad Fauzy, S.Si, M.Si, Ph. D, Astri Hapsari, SS, M.TESOL, Rachmad Adi Riyanto, S.TP (from LPDP).

 Not only the seminar, but on the first night there was also a training about How to Reach Your Goals delivered by Mr. Erik Hadi Saputra, S.Kom, M.Eng (Lecturer at STMIK Amikom Yogyakarta) as well as the second trainer on the second night on Scholarship Interpersonal Skills delivered by the Excellent Community UII Trainer Team.

It was so hot in the trial process, the committee held an Art Performance event on the second night. All participants were divided into groups randomly. This is also to make new friends and establish friendships between other campuses. There were many very creative performances from the participants even though they were given very limited time.

 "Lots of knowledge moment, new friends, inspiration that can be found at the Deliberation this time, especially for the Bidikmisi V Regional Deliberation Committee for Central Java-DIY, namely students who received Bidikmisi scholarships at UII starting from the 2012-2015 class. This is where the kinship of the UII Bidikmisi Student Association (HMBM UII) is really felt and the cohesiveness is really created until the following days," Indra impressed. Wibowo/Tri
