TEMPO Interactive, Makassar: The Nuffic Netherlands Education Support Office (Neso) in Indonesia is awarding scholarships for people in Makassar to study in the Netherlands. This program prioritizes women.

A Neso member of staff, Ariono Hadipuro, said that applicants from eastern Indonesia can apply through a pre-registration system.

The system allows applicants from eastern Indonesia to have TOEFL of 475 at minimum while applicants from western Indonesia have to have TOEFL of more than 550.

During the educational exhibition yesterday (17/11), Ariono said that 50 percent of the quota for master and short-course programs are for those from eastern Indonesia. Half of this is provided for women.

The Dutch government is allocating 30 million Euro for the scholarship program over the next five years.

“It is committed not to reduce the program budget even though there is a financial crisis,” said Ariono.
