The ETOS ID and BAKTI NUSA scholarships are Dompet Dhuafa’s efforts to answer the problem of education access in this country, especially for marginalized and duafa societies. Quality education is indeed already present in Indonesia, but unfortunately not all citizens can access it, because there is still an economic gap in this country.
Therefore, Dompet Dhuafa as an Islamic philanthropic institution strives to provide quality education and it can be accessed by all Indonesians without exception. With the courage of empowerment, Dompet Dhuafa also presents ETOS ID and BAKTI NUSA scholarships to create a prosperous society.
ETOS ID Scholarship
The ETOS ID Scholarship first came in 2003 under the name of Best of The Best (BoB) Scholarship. A year later, the BoB Scholarship was renamed and transformed into Beastudi Etos. Then, in 2019, Beastudi Etos again transformed into the ETOS ID Scholarship. Since 2003-2023, the total benefits recipients of the ETOS ID Scholarship have reached more than 2500 students from 24 leading universities in Indonesia.
The ETOS ID scholarship is carried out using two main methods, namely Improvement and Development of a student’s capacity and self-integrity. These two values are what underlies the name change of the Etos Scholarship to the ETOS ID Scholarship.
Not only facilitating education funding, ETOS ID also conducts intensive coaching for students with the aim of forming strategic human resources at the regional level. It is hoped that ETOS ID alumni will become individuals with integrity, professionalism, being transformative, and they are able to drive regional development for the creation of an empowered Indonesia.
