The talkshow is the last event in the LPDP UNS Scholarship Socialization program.

The LPDP UNS Awardee Association chairman, Danan Tricahyono, S.Pd., stated that he is delighted with the participant’s enthusiasm.

“This talkshow is the second series and the last this year. The first series was held on 1 June 2021,” he explained.

In the event attended 450 participants, the committee invited LPDP Alumni and Talent Management Team, Mohammad Kamiluddin, and two alumni of LPDP awardees, Aan Khosihan, S.Pd., M.Sos., and Dian Rachmatika, S.Pd., M.A., as speakers.

Kamiluddin shared the requirements and stages in the LPDP scholarship selection process and discussed all requirements that applicants need to prepare. He also gave suggestions and motivations for applicants to be optimistic that they could win the scholarship.

“Give your best effort. If your way is through LPDP, inshaAllah, you will win the scholarship. If your way is somewhere else, there is the best way for you somewhere,” he stated.

Aan Khosihan shared tips and tricks for interviews based on his experience. The Sociology Program UNS graduate shared his advice on what applicants need to prepare before, during, and after the interview. Aan also shared his journey to apply for an LPDP scholarship for National Universities.
