BNI Consistently Promotes Educational Equity Through National Scholarships

PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI continues to strengthen its commitment to enhancing the quality of education in Indonesia, in line with the spirit of National Education Day (Hardiknas), which falls every 2 May. One of BNI’s concrete steps is the provision of scholarships for students in need and those with achievements, while also supporting the development of superior and competitive human resources. From 2025 to April 2026, the scholarships distributed through BNI Berbagi have reached more than 1,000 students from various levels of education, starting from primary school to higher education. BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that through BNI Berbagi, the company consistently and sustainably supports the government in promoting equitable access to education throughout Indonesia. “The momentum of Hardiknas serves as a reminder to us all that education is the main foundation in building the nation’s future. BNI continues to commit to being present and making real contributions to supporting improvements in education quality in Indonesia,” said Okki in a written statement. Furthermore, Okki stated that this initiative not only focuses on enhancing academic capacity but also on building character and financial literacy so that society is better prepared to face future economic challenges. The programme is also accompanied by mentoring and educational activities to ensure that the benefits received are optimal and sustainable. BNI is committed to expanding the reach of this programme to 3T (frontier, outermost, underdeveloped) areas in Indonesia. “BNI is committed to continuing to expand the reach of this programme so that its benefits can be felt more widely by communities in various regions of Indonesia,” emphasised Okki. Through these various initiatives, BNI hopes to make a significant contribution to producing a generation that excels academically while possessing strong character for Indonesia’s future.
