BPDP to Increase Scholarship Quota to 5,000 Recipients by 2026

The Palm Oil Fund Management Agency (BPDP) is significantly expanding its human resource development program by increasing the scholarship quota to 5,000 recipients in 2026. This initiative underscores BPDP's commitment to cultivating a highly skilled and competitive workforce within Indonesia's vital palm oil sector.

Mohammad Alfansyah, Director of Downstream Fund Distribution at BPDP, highlighted that the quota increase from 4,000 in the previous year reflects a long-term investment in human capital. The program, supported by 42 educational institutions across Indonesia offering diploma and bachelor's degrees, will continue its mission as long as BPDP exists.

During BPDP's existence, the Palm Oil Human Resource Development Scholarship Program will always be there.

Since its inception in 2016, the Palm Oil Human Resource Development Scholarship program has empowered 13,265 students nationwide. The substantial rise in the 2026 quota marks this initiative as the most extensive palm oil scholarship program to date, aiming to equip the next generation of leaders for the industry's future.

The increase in the scholarship quota is our commitment to provide broader opportunities for Indonesian youth to obtain higher education and prepare superior human resources who will drive the palm oil industry in the future.
