Awesome! BRI Grants Scholarships for 1800 Outstanding Children in BRILiaN Village During the Celebration of Indonesian Independence

Kapanlagi.com - The euphoria of the 78th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia is still felt to this day. Surely there are many hopes from the nation's children as the country grows older. One of them is clearly related to equal distribution in the education sector for the creation of a generation of outstanding and excellent successors in various sectors.

Not just hoping, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI also promotes this progress through real contributions. BRI provides educational funds or scholarships for 1800 outstanding children in BRILian Village in conjunction with the independence moment.

This assistance is a form of appreciation to BRILiaN Village for making BRI the main bank for daily transactions. The form of assistance is in the form of savings funds intended to support all teaching and learning activities, such as school supplies and uniforms.

This was revealed by BRI Corporate Secretary Agustya Hendy Bernadi, who stated that education is one of the foundations of national progress. It is hoped that assistance for outstanding children in BRILiaN Village can motivate them to pursue education even more.

"Hopefully in the future, the younger siblings can maintain the spirit of continuous learning, always focus on their duties as students, be able to adapt in various environments, and ultimately achieve success that makes the people around them very proud. Continue to provide the best inspiration and contribution to the environment, society, religion, and of course our beloved country, Indonesia," he said.

The distribution mechanism is carried out through all BRI regional offices in Indonesia to outstanding children in classes or schools as recommended by the local village head. While the selected criteria for high-achieving children include the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in their respective classes; then the winners of championships in the fields of science, social, arts, sports, or other championships; as well as being required to obtain a recommendation from Desa BRILiaN.

Interestingly, the symbolic scholarship awarding was carried out by the President Director of BRI, Sunarso, to 3 children who were representatives. They were directly invited to the BRI Headquarters during the BRILiaN Independence Week 2023 event, on August 18, 2023.

The benefits of the education sector distributed through BRI's CSR program, BRI Cares, do not stop there. There is also an appreciation of educational funds for all members of the National Flag Raising Troop (Paskibraka) and their supporting staff. BRI has consistently provided this assistance for 13 consecutive years.
