UIII.AC.ID, DEPOK - On Friday, October 14, 2022, Indonesian Aid organization (LDKPI) of the Ministry of Finance has agreed to support Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) in granting a Graduate Scholarship Program for Afghani Students at UIII. This collaboration was marked by the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by the Rector of UIII, Prof. Komaruddin Hidayat, and the President Director of LDKPI, Tormarbulang Lumbantobing.
LDKPI said that this collaboration is one of the ways to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 target on education. The commitment between the two institutions is to contribute financial support in the form of travel costs, while UIII will provide scholarships consisting of education and living costs to Afghani postgraduate students.
The Rector of UIII said that the collaboration is a form of implementation of UUD 45 to implement a world order based on freedom, eternal peace, and social justice. In addition, Indonesia, as one of the largest populations in the world, can be reflected upon in its role through this program.
