The 10th Conference of Heads of States of
Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) countries commenced in Bandung from 1st –
6th September 1992 concluded, among others, the idea of scholarships
provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture. In 1993 the Government of
the Republik of Indonesia started offering postgraduate (master degree)
scholarship to students from the NAM member countries.
Since 2002, after the cold war ended, the program had beed
offered not only to the NAM member countries, but also to the developing
countries such as Thailand, Fiji, South Korea, Suriname, Guyana, Turkey,
Vietnam, and Vanuatu. In fact, this program has attracted more applicants, and
by 2012, 597 students from 49 countries had been awarded this scholarship.
Due to the international political escalation, the use of
the term “NAM” was considered irrelevant. Therefore, the program had been
changed to Beasiswa Kemitraan Negara Berkembang (KNB) or Developing
Countries Partnership program on Scholarship.
