This decision was also the result of the Leadership Meeting of the Financial Education and Training Agency (BPPK) on January 31, 2025.
"We sincerely apologize for the cancellation of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Ministerial Scholarship offer for 2025.

This occurred within a year," said Arwan Hasibuan, Deputy Director of Consumer Services and Examination of the Complaints of the Capital Market, Derivatives and Carbon Exchange at Lavva Plaza Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday, January 5, 2025.
