| Tasyakur event after university student orientation time at student building UIN Jakarta, Saturday (15/10). |
Since Bidikmisi’s management were changed from Ministry of Education and
Culture to Ministry of Religious Affaris on 2012, various scholarship management
rules in the Islamic State University (PTAIN) are managed by Ministry of
Religious Affairs. Meanwhile, State University
was handled by State Ministry of Research and Technology.
In the
Technical Guide Implementation Assistance Program Tuition Fee Bidikmisi Islamic Religion in 2014,
PTAIN apply for disbursement of funds to the State Treasury Office (KPPN) per
month or a maximum of six months. Meanwhile, State Ministry of Research
and Technology state that the funding was distributed per semester.
"Every University Organizer (PTP) is
entitled to withdraw funds for a scholarship to a maximum of 6 months. Hence, instead of being held by the
manager, they reject the withdrawal of the fund scholarship in the total amount
instantly, which is IDR 6 million," said Rahmawati, Section
Head of Student Affairs, Sub-Directorate General for Infrastructure and Student
Affairs, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Friday (20/3).
Rahmawati added, PTP has the right to make
rules outside the technical guide. This policy makes UIN Jakarta to
withdraw funds every two months. Student Affairs staff, Amellya Hidayat
said, treasury office will disburse IDR 6 millions fund to the student's bank
account was held by the student’s affair.
Later,
PTP pleaded disbursement to the participating banks with the attachment of decree
of rector containing the names of the recipients. After that, the bank will
transfer to an account held by the grantee. "Previously, they must fill
out a file withdrawal of savings," said Amellya, Monday (23/3).
Apparently,
the rules adopted by UIN Jakarta is different from the rules that are run by
PTP in the hand of State Ministry of Research and
Technology. According to Amanda Delia, one of the
members of Student Welfare Department Advocacy University of Indonesia, the 6
million allowance directly disbursed to the student's bank account at the
beginning of the semester.
"Students
can take all the money at once without any cuts," he said, Friday (20/3). When referring to the Minister of
Finance Regulation number 81/PMK.05/2012 Chapter 5 of Article 9 of the disbursement
and distribution of social aid, the disbursement of expenditure social aid fund
derived from the general treasury account directly to the bank account of the
grantee, or to the distributor’s bank account.
In line with
Amanda, Sugondo, staff of Infrastucture and Student Affairs of State Ministry of Research and Technology, said the scholarship
fund for grantee come in the early semester of the amount of Rp. 6 million
without any cuts.
Further, the
regulations governing the mechanism of scholarship fund report also different. Under the supervision of the Ministry
of Religious Affairs, UIN Jakarta reported
based on technical guidance in 2014; namely in the form of Grade Point Average
(GPA), the number of recipients, report of
changing name, the results of monitoring activities, and
others.
Later, accorded
to Technical Guidelines Implementation Assistance Program Tuition Fee Bidikmisi PTAI 2014, the bundles will be
one of the requirements that must be reported to the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Another
thing with Ministry of Religious Affairs, Sugondo explained, PTP under State Ministry of Research and Technology only submitted
a report in the form of GPA. "We just need a copy of the
decree and GPA for the disbursement of funds," he explained, Thursday
(19/3). As with a copy of
the payment bundle into evidence of disbursement, will be maintained by the
participating banks.
Amanda
explained, each grantee can easily access information on the website named sipbesar.dikti.go.id.
In these sites, the Bidikmisi’s
grantee can log in with their
account. Then, they can see themselves the
phase of disbursement of funds in the first semester, the amount, and they can
ask a question on the site.
The site
that serve Bidikmisi’s grantee is
auspices by State Ministry of Research and
Technology, said Amanda, ease the scholarship service
and provide fund transparency. When asked to Ministry of Religious
Affairs, they do not have the similar pages for transparency of the
disbursement process.
UIN Jakarta
has yet to have a digital service like that, so that the grantee should go to student’s
affair building to ask for information.
"We do not have such sites.
Yet, we welcome the development
of the program, "said Vice-Rectpr for Student Affairs, Yusron Razak,
Monday (23/3).
