The Badung Regency Government has officially announced that\nregistration for the Nak Badung Scholarship will open on 1 July 2026 via\nthe official website beasiswa.badungkab.go.id. Scholarship funds will be\ntransferred directly to the recipient\u2019s educational institution, whether\nschool or university, to ensure the assistance is well-targeted and to\nguarantee budget transparency.<\/p>\n
\u2018For this scholarship, both the Motivational and Affirmative types,\nwe distribute the funds to the institutions. For the Affirmative\nscholarship, we transfer it directly to the university, and for the\nMotivational scholarship, to the school,\u2019 said I Putu Sudika, Head of\nthe People\u2019s Welfare Bureau at the Badung Regional Secretariat, on\nTuesday (30\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
The programme is regulated by Badung Regent Regulation Number 8 of\n2026 concerning Scholarships for Students in Badung Regency, with\nbudgeting handled by the People\u2019s Welfare Bureau. \u2018This regulation\nserves as the legal umbrella, which is why the programme is placed under\nthe Regional Secretariat, specifically the People\u2019s Welfare Bureau,\nwhose coordination covers the education sector,\u2019 Sudika explained.<\/p>\n
The Nak Badung Scholarship Programme is divided into two types: the\nMotivational Scholarship for new high school (SMA\/SMK) students and the\nAffirmative Scholarship for new university students for the 2026\/2027\nacademic year. The Badung Regency Government has also previously made\neducation completely free for primary and junior high school\nstudents.<\/p>\n
The Motivational Scholarship is allocated without a quota for all\nBadung children newly entering SMA\/SMK within the Badung area, provided\nthey hold a Badung family card (KK). The benefits covered include\ntuition fees (SPP) or committee fees, monthly allowances for learning\nequipment, and a uniform allowance in the first year.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Affirmative Scholarship is prioritised for new\nuniversity students, with an initial quota of 450 recipients. The\ncriteria for recipients include being a child of a family head who works\nas a farmer, having a maximum household income of IDR 5 million per\nmonth, having no university graduates in the family, and prioritising\nthe third or fourth child typically named Nyoman and Ketut.<\/p>\n
\u2018So, no matter how many of our children from Badung attend school in\nBadung and meet the requirement of having a family head domiciled in\nBadung for five consecutive years, the government will cover all costs.\nIn the first year, they are also given a school uniform allowance,\u2019\nSudika elaborated.<\/p>\n
To ensure data validity and avoid budgeting errors, the verification\nprocess involves cross-agency collaboration, from the Population and\nCivil Registry Office to the Agriculture Office. The main selection\ngateway relies on verifying a minimum of five consecutive years of\ndomicile through the Population Administration Information System (SIAK)\noperators in each village. \u2018SIAK operators are already present in every\nvillage, and their role will be empowered and optimised by the Regent.\nThe population administration data will be explained and certified by\nthe respective village heads,\u2019 Sudika explained.<\/p>\n
Head of the Education, Youth and Sports Office, I Gusti Made\nDwipayana, added that the Agriculture Office will factually verify the\nfarmer occupation criteria based on ID card data, while economic\nconditions and graduate status will be based on official statements. The\nregency government has also set up a face-to-face consultation post at\nthe Regent\u2019s Office and confirmed there is no mandatory service bond for\nscholarship recipients after graduation.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/badungs-nak-badung-scholarship-registration-opens-1-july-heres-the-scheme-1782831134", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
