| Sunday, February 19, 2006 Not all students in Indonesia can afford their school fees. They are still quite young and they want more education although their parents are poor. Most of their parents are farmers, factory workers, fishermen, and becak drivers. Their wages or salaries are too low to pay the schoolfees. The schoolfees are high especially in cities or towns, not only in government schools but also in private schools. They need money for schoolfees and books. Money and books are of vital importance for students. Poor students are in need of help Scholarships are badly needed. So it's time for the foundations and organizations to think about this problem. Scholarships are financial awards given to clever or qualified students to be used for tuition, board, and books. Scholarships are given by schools, colleges, and universities as well as by public and private institutions and organizations. Scholarships are needed by qualified students of a needy family and orphans. As long as they are clever or qualified they can get the scholarships. So scholarship is usually an annual grant to a clever or qualified student to enable him to continue his studies. They should make much progress in every subject they take. To those who have got scholarships are advised to spend the time wisely. They should not idle away their time, because to get scholarship which is limited is not easy. Sometimes the teachers give the tasks first to choose the qualified students. If they succeed in their examination or have good marks in every terminal, the scholarships will be continually given to them. Hopefully they become scientists or people who are needed for the developments of our country. | |||
