Tourism Scholarship / SBM Poltekpar (Beasiswa Pariwisata / SBM Poltekpar)

Provides Achievement scholarships and ASEAN mobility awards for study at Indonesia's national polytechnics.

Beasiswa Pariwisata / SBM Poltekpar is the joint admissions and scholarship system for Indonesia's six national tourism polytechnics: NHI Bandung, Bali, Lombok, Makassar, Medan, and Palembang. The record places it under Kemenparekraf, with post-2024 administration moving to Kemenpar. The 2024/25 intake quota was about 3,860 student seats. Support includes achievement scholarships, such as the Poltekpar Makassar example at IDR 1,700,000 a year, plus ASEAN MRA-TP scholarships for ASEAN citizens at Poltekpar Lombok and NHI Bandung. Awards are delivered by the individual polytechnics rather than through a central ministry pot, and the system runs on an annual admissions cycle. The program is a fit for students aiming at tourism and hospitality credentials, especially those with academic or non-academic achievement to show. Because the scholarship path is embedded in school admissions, preparation matters as much as eligibility: applicants need the right documents, the right school choice, and enough performance to stand out inside each institution's own process.
