  • KUMPULAN BEASISWA INTERNATIONAL.Pdf
    Pendahuluan “Gimana caranya kuliah ke luar negeri?” Beasiswa adalah satu sarana yang sangat bermanfaat bagi banyak orang khususnya pelajar dan mahasiswa yang sangat ingin untuk memperluas ilmu dan mengembangkan kemampuan masing-masing dalam berbagai bidang. Dalam lingkup pelajar dan mahasiswa Indonesia, program beasiswa yang tersedia kini sudah sangat berkembang. Tidak hanya tersedia untuk lingkup dalam negeri namun juga luar negeri. Hal ini juga adalah alasan dari fakta bahwa setiap tahun ada semakin banyak mahasiswa dan pelajar Indonesia yang melanjutkan studi ke luar negeri dengan bantuan berbagai program beasiswa. Melanjutkan pendidikan dengan menggunakan bantuan beasiswa tentu sangat meringankan beban pembiayaan apa lagi jika pendidikan yang diambil dijalani di luar negeri. Ide untuk melanjutkan pendidikan ke luar negeri memanglah bukan satu ide yang baru. Faktanya sudah sangat lama terjadi yang namanya mahasiswa atau pelajar Indonesia melanjutkan pendidikan di luar negeri. Bukan hanya karena gengsi atau gaya-gayaan saja melainkan memang demi mengejar kualitas pendidikan yang lebih baik. Bukan berarti hal ini menyiratkan bahwa pendidikan 2 di Indonesia tidak baik, namun lagi-lagi faktanya adalah bahwa dalam hal pendidikan ada cukup banyak negara selain Indonesia yang menawarkan kualitas pendidikan yang lebih bagus secara paket keseluruhan. Maksudnya adalah mulai dari lingkungannya, institusnya, dan bahkan pihak-pihak pendukungnya yang memberikan satu kesempatan besar untuk terus berkembang ketika berada di luar negeri. Jika mau diambil contoh mengenai pengembangan berbagai hal di Indonesia saat ini sudah ada beberapa contoh yang justru berakhir tidak baik. Masih ingat dengan kasus mobil listrik? Itu hanya satu contoh dimana memang ternyata budaya apresiasi atau menghargai itu masih belum terpupuk di Indonesia.

Scholarships are awarded to applicants who have demonstrated excellent academic ability, who will contribute to the University’s groundbreaking research, and who will go on to contribute to the world as leaders in their field, pushing the frontiers of knowledge. The University contributes 40% of the funds for these scholarships, together with 60% from generous donations provided by numerous supporters of the University and its colleges. Dr Mary Frances Wagley was amongst the small number of women to be admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the 1940s and after her undergraduate studies she came to St Hilda’s to complete a DPhil in Physical Chemistry (1947-1950). Dr Wagley had a long career as an educator in the USA, teaching chemistry at Smith College from 1950 to 1953 and later serving as headmistress at St. Paul’s School for Girls in Brooklandville, Maryland, from 1966 to 1978. A pioneer in many respects, in 1970, she became the first woman to join the MIT Corporation, and in 1984-’85 she served as the first female president of the MIT Alumni Association.
