BCA Bank has officially opened registration for its 2027 Bakti BCA Scholarship program, aiming to support human resource development and sustainable education in Indonesia. The program is open to undergraduate students from state universities across the country.

Registration runs from August 3 to September 30, 2026. BCA Director Antonius Widodo Mulyono stated the scholarship provides educational assistance and self-development opportunities for young Indonesians. "Education is a long-term investment crucial for national progress," he said. "We hope Bakti Champions not only excel academically but also become adaptive, integrity-driven individuals ready to positively impact society and the nation."

Education is a long-term investment that plays an important role in national progress. We hope that the recipients of the Bakti BCA Scholarship, called 'Bakti Champions,' will not only be able to complete their studies well but also grow into adaptive, integrity-driven generations ready to make a positive impact on Indonesian society and nation.

Applicants must be Indonesian citizens, under 21 years old as of December 31, 2026, currently in their third semester of an undergraduate program at a state university, and not receiving other scholarships. They should also demonstrate social concern, a commitment to learning, and be active in organizations, while not holding full-time employment or government bonds.

Beyond financial aid and tuition support, scholarship recipients, known as 'Bakti Champions,' will participate in development programs, national summits, company visits, financial literacy education, and community empowerment initiatives. They will also join the Bakti BCA alumni network. BCA has awarded scholarships to over 9,200 students since 1999, with 700 selected last year. More details are available on bca.id.

We want to provide broader opportunities for Indonesian students to continue developing themselves, both academically and non-academically, so they can optimize their talents and be ready to face the future with ample provisions and make a real contribution to the nation and country.
