For many years, we have been supporting the education of committed young people with the International Scholarship Program. Almost ninety women and men are currently studying in the fields of theology, social welfare, medicine and education. A balanced gender ratio is important to us.

UEM General Secretary Dr. Andar Parlindungan about the Scholarship Programme:

"Education is a human right",

All people, regardless of their religion, origin, culture or economic background, have a right to a qualified education. The UEM encourages young people beyond their studies to develop critical thinking, empathy for communities in need and to make use of cultural and local philosophical wisdom in their work."

Thank you for your support!
