South Tangerang, July 17, 2025 – YMPJ Scholarship 2025/2026: Empowering Academic Excellence at Universitas Pembangunan Jaya

 

Universitas Pembangunan Jaya (UPJ), through its Student Affairs and Alumni Office (BKAL), has officially reopened registration for the Marga Pembangunan Jaya Foundation (YMPJ) Scholarship for the 2025/2026 academic year. This scholarship reflects the Foundation's enduring commitment to cultivating academic excellence by supporting high-achieving and actively engaged UPJ students.

 

Eligibility Criteria and Application Requirements

The YMPJ Scholarship is designed for UPJ students who have completed a minimum of three semesters. Applications may be submitted between the conclusion of the third semester (for funding in the fourth) and no later than the seventh semester (for funding in the eighth).

 

Key eligibility criteria include:

 

Active enrollment at Universitas Pembangunan Jaya

 

Enrollment in a minimum of 18 credits during the current semester, as verified through a copy of the BRS (Study Plan Card)

Selection Framework

BKAL disseminates scholarship announcements via official university communication channels, including student email accounts, the Instagram handle @bkal.upj, and the official BKAL website. Applicants access the application form through an online link provided upon announcement.

 

The selection process unfolds across two core stages:

 

Stage I: Essay Evaluation

Applicants submit a written essay, which is assessed by a panel of designated faculty members:
