British Council's scholarships

JAKARTA (JP): The British Council has provided a total of
US$1.5 million to finance scholarships for at least 200
Indonesian students, its Jakarta director Neil Kemp said
recently.

The scholarships were for undergraduate, postgraduate and
research studies across 37 British universities, Antara quoted
Kemp as saying.

Kemp said the British Council has granted 400 scholarships,
worth more than US$ 2.5 million, to Indonesian students up to
September 1997. Some 2,700 Indonesians are currently pursuing
postgraduate studies in Britain.

Thirty-five British universities and institutions began a road
show in Surabaya last Thursday and Friday. The same exhibition
opened at the Jakarta Convention Center yesterday and continues
through today before moving on to Bandung and Medan. (prb)
