LPDP Indonesia Endowment Scholarships and Research

Supports Indonesian institutions and firms through LPDP scholarships and research grants, with public funding for education-linked research and startup opportunities.

LPDP Indonesia Endowment Scholarships and Research sits inside LPDP, the Indonesian Endowment Fund for Education, which operates as a public service agency under the Ministry of Finance. The program is one of LPDP's core routes for scholarships and research support, backed by an endowment that the record places at IDR 154.11 trillion cumulatively for 2010 to 2025. The program is a grant route with awards from IDR 500 million to IDR 5 billion on an annual cycle. Applicants must be Indonesia-registered and operating in Indonesia, for-profit entities are required, nonprofits are allowed, and individuals are excluded. LPDP is a good fit for Indonesian institutions and firms that can align a scholarship or research plan with national priorities and a public-finance stewardship model. It has operated since 2010, with scholarships first disbursed in 2013, which gives the route a long public-finance track record rather than a new pilot feel. Its wider portfolio includes competitive RISPRO funding, invitation-based themes, and international collaboration streams, so applicants benefit from a clear research case and a disciplined execution plan.
