Pelaksana Tugas Asisten Sekda Papua Bidang Pemerintahan, Yohanis Walilo memastikan tunggakan biaya beasiswa 16 mahasiswa di luar negeri sudah diselesaikan. Acting Assistant Secretary of Papua for Government Affairs, Yohanis Walilo, confirmed that the scholarship fee arrears of 16 students abroad have been settled.
JAYAPURA - Pelaksana Tugas Asisten Sekda Papua Bidang Pemerintahan, Yohanis Walilo memastikan tunggakan biaya beasiswa 16 mahasiswa di luar negeri sudah diselesaikan.
Pembayaran tunggakan mahasiswa program Beasiswa Siswa Unggul Papua (SUP) tersebut tak hanya di periode Juli - Desember 2023. Tetapi sampai dengan tahun ajaran 2024.
“Sebab mereka ini (16 mahasiswa) yang akan diwisuda Mei 2024. Kami sudah selesaikan sampai Mei 2024 jadi mereka tidak akan pulang, mereka sudah kembali ke kampus,” ujar Walilo di Kota Jayapura, Selasa (30/1/2024).
Sementara untuk sisa tunggakan Beasiswa SUP periode Juli-Desember 2023 lainnya, mulai dibayarkan Rabu esok. Pembayaran tunggakan ini akan dilakukan secara bertahap.
“Anggarannya sudah ada, tapi kita selesaikan bertahap. Sebab pembayaran ke kampus di luar negeri butuh waktu, kalau dalam negeri cepat saja,” katanya.
Ia menambahkan untuk 2024 ini, pembayaran dilakukan berdasarkan kebijakan Penjabat Gubernur Papua. Sekalipun pembiayaan beasiswa secara kesuluruhan untuk program Beasiswa SUP 2024 belum dibicarakan.
“Kalau kita tidak bayarkan mereka bisa dipulangkan, walaupun belum ada pembicaraan soal pembiayaan beasiswa 2024. Nanti untuk program Beasiswa SUP 2024 dan tahun-tahun berikutnya akan difasilitasi lagi oleh Kemendagri terkait pembiayaannya.”
“Hanya pembayaran penyelesaian tunggakan beasiswa 2023 akan menggunakan anggaran Pemprov Papua lebih dulu. Sementara dukungan anggaran dari pemerintah kabupaten/kota akan ditagihkan menyusul,” tandasnya. ***
JAYAPURA - Acting Assistant Secretary of Papua for Government Affairs, Yohanis Walilo, confirmed that the scholarship fee arrears of 16 students abroad have been settled.
The payment of arrears for students of the Papua Superior Scholarship (SUP) program is not only in the period July-December 2023 but until the 2024 school year.
"Because they (16 students) will graduate in May 2024. We have finished until May 2024 so they will not go home, they have returned to campus," said Walilo in Jayapura City, on Tuesday (1/30/2024).
Meanwhile, the remaining SUP arrears for the July-December 2023 period will be paid next Wednesday. Payment of these arrears will be made in stages.
"The budget is already in place, but we are finalizing it gradually. Because payments to campuses abroad take time, if domestically it is fast," he said.
He added that for 2024, payments are made based on the policy of the Acting Governor of Papua. Even though the overall scholarship financing for the SUP 2024 program has not been discussed.
"If we don't pay, they can be repatriated, even though there has been no talk about funding for the 2024 scholarship. The BUP program in 2024 and the following years will be facilitated again by the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding financing."
"The payment for the settlement of 2023 scholarship arrears will use the Papua Provincial Government's budget first. Meanwhile, budget support from the district/city government will be billed later," he said. ***
