All needs, from pre-departure\npreparation to daily living expenses, are comprehensively covered. Here\nare the details of the cost components received by an awardee based on\nthe 2023 guidebook.<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Education and Academic Costs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All costs directly related to lectures are paid according to official\ninvoices from the campus (At Cost). This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Tuition Fees and Registration Fees.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Book Allowance: IDR 10 million per year.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Research Funds: Maximum IDR 50 million for thesis (S2) and IDR\n150 million for dissertation (S3).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>International Seminar Funds: Maximum IDR 15 million.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>International Journal Publication: Maximum IDR 25\nmillion.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Departure and Protection Costs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>LPDP also covers operational costs so that students can arrive and\nstay safely in the destination country:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Transportation: Plane tickets are paid according to invoices (At\nCost).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Visa Application: Paid according to invoices.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Health Insurance: Maximum IDR 29 million per year.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Living Costs and Family Allowances<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This component is the most crucial because the nominal value is\nadjusted to the standard of living in the destination country:<\/p>\n<p>Arrival Allowance (Settlement Allowance)<\/p>\n<p>Given at 200% of the monthly living cost as initial capital.<\/p>\n<p>Monthly Living Allowance (Living Allowance)<\/p>\n<p>Varies in each country. For example, in the United States it can\nreach IDR 28.6 million to IDR 42.1 million per month. In the UK it\nranges from IDR 28.4 million to IDR 36.3 million, while in Japan it is\naround IDR 16.8 million to IDR 18.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>Family Allowance<\/p>\n<p>For those who bring their family, there is an additional 25% of the\nliving cost per person (maximum 2 people).<\/p>\n<p>Companion Allowance<\/p>\n<p>For people with disabilities, there is an additional 25% for one\ncompanion.<\/p>\n<p>What are the Obligations of LPDP Graduates After Graduation?<\/p>\n<p>Because the state has financed the education of LPDP awardees to such\nan extent, there are obligations that must be fulfilled by its alumni.\nStill quoted from the LPDP Official Information and Assistance Service\npage and the <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"lpdp_ri\">@lpdp_ri<\/span>\nThreads account, here are some of the obligations that must be fulfilled\nby LPDP alumni.<\/p>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li>Period of Service and Contribution<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All alumni are required to return and serve in Indonesia. The\nduration of this service period is calculated based on the formula 2N +\n1. This means that alumni must contribute for twice the duration of\ntheir studies plus one year.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an alumnus takes 2 years to study, then their\ncontribution obligation is 5 years. During this period, alumni must be\nphysically present and work in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Provisions for Implementing Contributions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This contribution obligation must be carried out consecutively. The\ncalculation of the service period begins from several of the following\nconditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>Arrive in Indonesia: Applies to scholarship recipients from\nabroad immediately after the end of their studies.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Complete Internship: Applies to alumni who temporarily reside\nabroad for an official internship program.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Complete Studies: Applies to domestic scholarship recipients who\nimmediately begin service without an internship program abroad.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each alumnus is expected to report their presence periodically to the\nLPDP. This aims to ensure that the knowledge gained during their studies\nis used for the benefit of Indonesia.<\/p>",
