Fulbright scholarship

From Kompas

I am one of the applicants for the Fulbright/Galbraith Scholarship Program for 1995. Since 1994, I have worked to complete the requirements by obtaining the necessary letter of reference, TOEFL and other papers.

I sent all the documents to AMINEF in February 1994. In June, I was told that my papers were complete, so I was entitled to an interview scheduled for July 7, 1994 in Jakarta.

But on June 20, 1994, AMINEF informed me that the interview was canceled. The reason for this cancellation was that Pertamina, the main administer of the program's funds, was planning to discontinue its contribution.

This is indeed deplorable and leaves the impression that there was no clear coordination between Pertamina and AMINEF.
