Kapanlagi.com - BRI Peduli recently held the BRI Fellowship Journalism 2021 program, which was attended by a total of 972 journalists from all over Indonesia. After being rigorously screened through 5 selection stages, 36 journalists were finally selected to receive scholarships to continue their master's education (S2).

Later on, these 36 journalists are allowed to choose to continue their master's education in the State Universities (PTN) of their choice. The hope is that the selected journalists can become agents of change who can motivate the public to rise from this pandemic era through journalism.

"Congratulations to the scholarship recipients. They are agents of change who educate and motivate the public, building the spirit of optimism for the rise of Indonesian SMEs," said Aestika Oryza Gunarto, Corporate Secretary of BRI, on Thursday (7/4/2022).

1. BRI's Commitment to Help SMEs Recovery

As we know, the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the economy of many countries, including Indonesia. SMEs in Indonesia are not exempt from the impact. Reflecting on this, BRI is committed to promoting the recovery of SMEs affected by the pandemic, advancing SMEs to the next level, and accelerating national economic recovery.

Through BRI Fellowship Journalism 2021, BRI involves journalists as agents of change by increasing the role of the press as an institution with the function of educating and motivating the public, building the spirit of optimism for the rise of Indonesian SMEs. The provision of BRI Peduli scholarships to journalists is expected to provide opportunities for journalists who aspire to continue their education but are constrained by the pandemic.

"Thank God, thank you for the support. Thank you, Allah, I, a farmer's child, finally have the opportunity to pursue a master's degree. If only my father were still alive, he would certainly be happy to hear this news. Ramadan is full of blessings, thank you, Allah... Thank you, BRI, and thank you to the mentors who have guided me selflessly," said Sri Darni or Dani, a reporter for RRI Padang.
