YOGYAKARTA – Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (UKDW) reaffirmed its commitment to producing high-quality graduates through the Welcoming UKDW Scholarship Awardees 2024 event, held on Thursday, September 12, 2024, at the Didaktos Seminar Room. The event, attended by 81 students, showcased UKDW’s dedication to supporting students who aspire to make a positive impact in society.
UKDW offers a range of scholarships to both prospective and current students, reflecting its ongoing investment in education.
In his address, Dr. Parmonangan Manurung, S.T., M.T., IAI., Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Alumni, Information, and Innovation, reminded scholarship recipients of the responsibility that comes with their award. He encouraged them to adhere to the university’s regulations while also enjoying their academic journey.
“Not everyone has the chance to pursue higher education, let alone receive a scholarship. This is a blessing, and with it comes the responsibility to meet the required standards,” he stated.
One of the scholarship recipients, Antonius Kiya Ananda Derron, expressed his gratitude for the financial support. “I’m incredibly grateful that my parents won’t have to worry about tuition for the next four years. My goal is to graduate cum laude with a degree in computer science. I also aim to develop my programming and business skills while collaborating with my peers at UKDW,” said Kiya, an Informatics student. [humasukdw/trans.drr]
