The Proportion of Students Receiving Financial Aid to Attend University Because of Poverty
UT collaborates with various partners to provide scholarships distributed to the broader community that meets the criteria. 23,375 students receive scholarships, with UT managing scholarship funds exceeding 44 billion Rupiah—however, only 9,337 students received scholarships for low-income students. The rest are working students who receive scholarships from the institutions where they work.
University Anti-poverty Programs
Universitas Terbuka is strongly committed to expanding access to higher education for all segments of society, especially those from lower-income groups. This target demonstrates Universitas Terbuka’s dedication to providing equal educational opportunities for all citizens, without exception, to reduce the gap in educational access among low-income communities. We are consistently working to tighten this target to reach more students from underprivileged economic backgrounds, thereby supporting the goal of inclusive education at the national level.
UT has a target to admit students from economically disadvantaged families, which aligns with Universitas Terbuka’s statute as stated in Government Regulation No. 39 of 2022, Article 19, paragraph 3, as noted below.
UT must seek and recruit prospective students with high academic potential who are economically disadvantaged and prospective students from the outermost, remote, and underdeveloped areas, making up at least 20% of all new students accepted across all study programs.
While UT does not explicitly set a target for students from low-income families to complete their studies, it supports these students by providing scholarship programs. UT offers scholarships that cover up to 8 semesters through the KIP-K Program and CSR Scholarships. This approach guarantees that students from low-income families receive continuous financial support, enabling them to complete their education successfully.
Universitas Terbuka is deeply committed to providing comprehensive support to students, with a strong focus on helping them overcome challenges that might otherwise hinder their ability to complete their studies successfully. We continuously evaluate and expand these programs to adapt to student’s needs and are proud to foster a supportive and equitable academic environment for all.
Through the KIP K scholarship program distributed by Universitas Terbuka, low-income scholarship recipients receive monthly living allowances, which can be used to purchase food, cover transportation costs, and pay for housing, among other expenses. This living stipend ensures that students from low-income families can complete their studies.
Universitas Terbuka is committed to helping those in our communities who may not have access to traditional higher education, including students from households in the lowest 20% income bracket. Our mission is to make higher education accessible and inclusive, providing flexible learning options that support individuals who face financial or logistical barriers to attending conventional universities. Through this approach, we strive to create educational opportunities for all, regardless of their economic or geographical limitations.
UT manages the Kartu Indonesia Pintar scholarship, a scholarship program from the Indonesian government for low-income students.
