Schoters Scholarship Abroad Clinic: A Comprehensive Review
Schoters, a platform specializing in overseas study guidance and foreign languages, recently held a "Scholarship Abroad Clinic." This clinic offered free offline consultation booths for students, parents, and professionals seeking scholarships for overseas education. This article provides a detailed review of the Schoters Scholarship Abroad Clinic.
The Growing Interest in Overseas Education
The Scholarship Abroad Clinic was initiated in response to the increasing interest among Indonesian students in pursuing higher education abroad. Data from Databoks (2022) indicates that the most popular destinations for Indonesian students seeking scholarships are the European Union (19.1%), followed by the United States (18.3%), and the United Kingdom (11.5%). These countries are chosen based on factors such as academic reputation, affordable living costs, ease of visa processing, and language accessibility.
A Week of Consultation and Guidance
Schoters provided consultation and guidance services as a feature within its application for a week. This program reflects Schoters' commitment to improving the Indonesian education ecosystem by supporting students in their pursuit of overseas education. The clinic also aimed to involve parents, recognizing their crucial role in providing appropriate support to their children. Radyum Ikono, CEO of Schoters Indonesia, stated that the offline Scholarship Abroad Clinic was a strategy to effectively and directly engage with prospective students and their parents.
“By meeting prospective students directly, Schoters can understand their interests and motivations while providing appropriate solutions, case by case. This strategy is Schoters' alternative to connect with parents who are not digitally literate, through discussion spaces regarding the right support in preparing for their children's education abroad," he explained.
Clinic Services
Visitors to the Scholarship Abroad Clinic were first required to complete a study plan form. This form included details about their intended major, preferred and alternative countries, and the type of scholarship they were seeking or had already obtained. They were also asked to provide information about their work experience and supporting competencies to diagnose their background and future needs.
