Essay Pitch
My motivation to apply as mentor for the Indonesia Mengglobal Mentorship Program 2016:
Simply because I think this is an excellent method of personal mentorship that I wished I
had during my application process to graduate school. There are many things I wished I
knew about the application processes, architecture school reputations and focuses, and also
about the cities where the schools are located. It's great to finally know that I could be useful
to share what I know to others!
Why should you choose me as your mentor?

I regularly check and review my friends' essays for both LPDP scholarship and their essay
application to architecture schools. Particularly on the architecture application essays, I
enjoyed the discussions and brainstorming on what we can do within the very broad and
dynamic profession. Being inside an architecture practice for quite some time after I finish
undergrad, and going back to a research-based masters degree, I feel like I have a pretty nice
view of both sides of the coin.
I'm just really excited about architecture education in general and always enjoy
conversations with fellow architects with their own unique interests! Even though my degree
focus was on Architecture Design & Health, I have many architecture friends doing different
architecture-related degrees in the US and all around the world, and I'm always excited to
share about them too!

Essay Pitch
Indonesia needs more professional in architecture and urban development. As the issue of
this field is growing bigger nowadays and urban design field itself is a rare major in
Indonesia (only 1 university that had this field as a major for their master program), I want to
encourage students in Indonesia to pursue their study in this field.
Also, many students in architecture (based on my experience) are afraid to study abroad
because of the tight competition and differences in technology advancement for learning, it
is also my main concern and reason for applying as mentor here.

As a mentor, I want to help my mentee to be a well-prepared candidate. Not only fully
prepared on knowledge but also mentally. It is a tough decision to study abroad, however
with more thorough preparation, hopefully it will lead my mentee to an easier mind while
preparing for university enrollment. In the other side, I also feel grateful if I can be both
mentor and friend at the same time for my mentee so that we will be a discussion partner
rather than a rigid mentoring system.
I will provide information related to :
- tips & trick for scholarship (LPDP & IHS Netherland)
- language course (English & German)
- IELTS test preparation
- how to prepare a study plan before and after getting the university
- UK university info on Architecture & Urban Design related major
- how to make a professional architecture portfolio & CV
- how to write personal statement for applying university
- simple habit to start a focus mind

Essay Pitch
I would like to equal the playing field and provide access to those who are less privileged.
Everyone should have equal opportunity to succeed, given they have the good heart and
intention to pursue higher education for better good.

I have 11-years teaching experience and most of my teaching years are of adults and high
school students. At the end of the day, I am not someone you will rely on to get your jobs
done. I am simply here to help you navigate the waters by pointing you to the direction to
which you should be focusing on. You have the turn the wheel yourself and you have to get
the hard work done on your own. But if you are stuck, I will be there to either tell you keep
going or that you have lost your focus on the right direction, and re-direct you again. I am
committed as long as you are. You have to want this, and you have to know why you want
this. When you do, I will help you get where you want to be. Or at least, accompany you until
you get where you want to be.
I am academically trained for peer mentorship, conflict resolution and dialogue building.
Currently, I am also volunteering at the Canadian Center for Victims of Torture. Mentorship
is not a relationship between "the helper" and "the helped". It is a relationship between
equals. Only after we know the hardships of our own can we really be present with the
hardships of others.

Essay Pitch
I've been doing it for the past few years! I've always been a mentor informally (in addition to
the program). I love it.

Hi, all! I'm Ariana. Originally from Bandung, I've been living in the U.S. for the past nine
years. I've mentored more than fifteen people throughout the years (including outside of the
Indonesia Mengglobal program). I specialize in admissions into top MBA programs, Masters
of Environment programs, and MPA/MPP programs in the US (and a little bit in the UK).
I graduated recently (May 2016) from UC Berkeley's full-time MBA program. As I sat there in
my graduation cap and gown, I looked at the 500 people who are graduating with me. Our
names were called one by one to the stage. I heard my name called. I also heard other
people's names. Not a single Indonesian name was called apart from mine. You know what?
I'm sick of that. It's time for more Indonesians to get into & enroll in top programs. I know
we can do it.
All my mentoring sessions start with the number one issue facing qualified Indonesians:
lack of confidence. As a mentor, I'm good at building that confidence into the level needed to
succeed in an admissions application. The rest will fall into place. Contact me if you're
applying for the programs I mentioned above!

Essay Pitch
I believe that people would be remembered for their legacies in the world. The way to
measure how successful people is by looking up to their contributions that impact the lives
of many people. One of the ways that I do is by volunteering at Indonesia Mengglobal as a
mentor. I have a vision that in the future, our country becomes developed because a lot of
Indonesian students study at reputable university in the USA. And, I hope in the future I can
say that "This happens because of my contributions to my country with Indonesia
Mengglobal".

Are you looking for a mentor who is experienced in tech+business? Are you looking for a
mentor who is friendly? Or, are you looking for a mentor who is easily accessible? Then, you
might want to have Prasidhi as your mentor for grad school application!
Prasidhi is now currently enrolled in MBA program at Purdue University, USA,
concentrating in Operations and Finance. The MBA program is ranked #6 for Operations
concentration worldwide. Before accepted in Purdue, Prasidhi had been working as Tech
Product Manager at Indonesia's fastest growing tech startup, GO-JEK. Also, Prasidhi has
worked with Unilever for 2 years as Assistant Manufacturing Manager in one of the biggest
ice cream factories in Asia. He aims to build Indonesia in technology and operations sector
because he believes that these sectors can highly impact the economy of Indonesian people.
He has been joining Operations Club and Finance Club at Krannert School of Management
in Purdue. Also, he is planning to have an internship in Amazon or Tesla next year.
I have experienced in giving technical mentoring to my fellow friends who want to pursue
their study in the USA, such as teaching GRE quantitative, TOEFL, writing Statement of
Purpose, and one-page Resume. Therefore, I asked myself: Why not joining Indonesia
Mengglobal?

Three reasons. First, willingness to contribute. I see this opportunity as a platform for me to
contribute back to society. Second, personal readiness. Combining five years working
experience and my newly minted MBA, I believe I have reached the right maturity level to be
a mentor in developing future Indonesian leaders. Last, to develop myself. Instead of a one
way learning, I believe that by becoming a mentor I will also learn as well.

For me, there is no greater pleasure than being able to help people in reaching their dreams. I
am very happy to commit myself in helping you, but the key to your success will still be in
your hands. Therefore, with all respect only choose me if you are ready to work hard

Essay Pitch
Having applied to many universities in the US and in Australia, I understand how having a
knowledgeable mentor who is detached from a student's personal life but genuinely cares
about the student's success can help the student reach his or her maximum potential. I
believe that I have a lot to share with students who are going to be in the shoes I was once in.
Furthermore, I feel that is program is a great way for me to channel my passion for both
Education and Indonesia.

Mentoring has always been one of my greatest passions. I believe that behind every
significant achievement, there is a significant relationship and my education has taught me
that having a teacher or mentor who cares about your success is immensely helpful,
regardless of the level of education or age.
Having studied under many different school systems and having researched many different
universities around the world as I considered on applying to them, I feel that my primary
strength as a mentor is not necessarily my ability to easily understand your background but
more importantly my understanding of the wide range of options available and suggesting
what might suit you best. My motivation for this program comes from understanding the
importance of choosing what is best for you personally in the midst of what other
stakeholders might demand.
Finally, all of my contributions towards Indonesia Mengglobal are driven by my relationship
with Indonesia. I understand the struggles that Indonesians might specifically face in the
application process. However, I realise how a foreign university education is one of the best
ways to learn about what it means to be Indonesian, and that is what excites me most about
this program.
Although I am now studying in Australia, I am actually more interested in mentoring
candidates intending to study in the US as I feel that it is more interesting and challenging.
Having applied to many universities in the US alongside some universities in Australia, I am
well aquatinted with the new Common Application and I am still up to date with the
application process. I am also keen on mentoring students who are undecided on which
country they want to go to.

I love the experience of participating in last year's mentorship program. Being a mentor
allows me to share my knowledge & experience to help my mentee reaching their dreams. To
me, mentees are representing Indonesia's next generation with outstanding achievement &
great motivation to challenge themselves and the world. And I am ready to participate in
their journey towards their future paths.

In the past, I helped my mentee with strategies on how to pick schools, how to prepare for
applications, and how to look for scholarships. To me, it's all about collaboration. Mentees
need to be motivated and be positive to embrace opportunities, for our collaboration to work.
I will help as much as I can to share what I think would work based on my experience. I
encourage my mentees to also think what's best for them, since everyone has their own path
to succeed
I have been challenging myself ever since I decided to change fields (from engineering to
finance). In the process, I have been showing commitments for the transition, including
taking CFA exams, pursuing master degree in finance in one of the top universities in the
UK, getting a scholarship and now working in the finance environment. I have dealt with
self confidence and others' doubt in terms on the transition, since it is uncommon for
Indonesians. Now that I've worked my way towards my dreams, I can encourage mentees to
not give up and take chances.

Essay Pitch
I wish to assist Indonesian aspiring students to obtain their advanced education at top-class
universities (at US, in my case). Finding the true passion, long term goal, and seeking the fit
school was by no mean easy. I found myself helped by tons of extraordinary friends and
mentors, and intend to pay the favors forward.

I am an IT person turned finance, and am now enrolling to my MBA degrees, in which I will
meet various clasmates delving into business field study - varying from conventional
backgrounds (finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, consulting) to non-conventional ones
(NGO, non-profit). By this, I may fit to broader category of mentee's background and also get
advise from my relevant classmates on my mentee's study plan.
I have experienced significant distress on my education journey, from almost dropped-out of
undergraduate to turning the tides on my professional career years, earned best employee
award, hand-picked to assist C-suite executives, and landed an admit at a business school
that once surpassed Harvard as the best Business School. Some of mentees may have
problems in their confidence or in packaging their profile in the most appealing way to their
dream schools, in which I could provide assistance through the entire application process
(school research, resume & essay drafting, mock interview, waitlist strategy).
I am currently an active contributor on BPI LPDP scholarship community, founder of MBALPDP group & co-founder of Permias LPDP 2016 intake group. I have committed to them and
plan to do the same with Indonesia Mengglobal community.
I have mentored / acted as learning buddy to 50+ new recruits on banking sector during my 6yr career, and 20+ colleagues aspiring to study abroad.

Essay Pitch
I would like to share my personal, academic, and professional experience to other Indonesian
students to assist them in making a good preparation for their future study abroad
(particularly in the UK). When I was in the stage of preparing everything to continue my
study, I was fortunate because I had more than enough emotional support and information
from my parents, friends, and former lecturers. I would like the mentees to get the same (or
even better) experience as I have got to reach their dreams.

When I first read the broadcast mail about Indonesia Mengglobal and the opportunity to
become a mentor, I knew that this would fulfil my interest in sharing experience and
therefore decided to fill the application form right away. As a psychologist who ends up
working as a human resource practitioner in a company, I am now certain that encouraging
people to reach their maximum potential is my passion. I consider my personal and
professional experience as a journey to learn about the importance of not only determination
and perseverance, but also the crucial role of social support in achieving my dreams. I have
received some encouraging recognition and rewards for my achievements, but there were
also times when I had to accept failure and criticism for my decisions. I felt very fortunate
because in whatever situations I was going through I had enough sources who gave me
emotional and informational support that I needed. Therefore, I would like to ensure that I
can pass this support on to the mentees to give them a better experience in stepping into their
targeted universities.

Essay Pitch
I have seen how capable Indonesian students are. But school/scholarship applications are
also strategic games. The potentials are there, but they need to be polished to stand out. It is a
shame if good Indonesian applicants are rejected simply because their applications are not as
polished as others.
Further, I also believe that such mentorship program should become available to wider pool
of mentees. Becoming a mentor is my first effort to support that believe.

First, I am a trained consultant; I've been giving recommendations during my whole
professional life. In fact, in my first year of master's, I coached fellow students for their
internship applications (resume and interview skills). They got into top organizations such
as OECD, UN and BCG. This also showcases my second point: I am always willing to spare
times in helping others. Finally, I am also experienced with scholarship applications. For
example, I am currently supported by LPDP Scholarship for my double master's degree, but I
was also selected for British Government's Chevening Scholarship.
I was also selected for Chevening Scholarship, but decided to take LPDP Scholarship given
my school preference.

Essay Pitch
Involved as a mentor last year, helped my friends before, and seeing their success boost my
motivation to continue help people to achieve their dreams. They opened my eyes that there
are a lot of potentials in Indonesia that would be actually successful globally, but what they
need is motivation and advice to grab their chance. With my growing skills and willing to
help, I would like to contribute more to the success of Indonesian around the world.
Ultimately, knowing smart people who keeps on improving themselves also motivates me to
improve myself.

Successfully granted to study abroad with a scholarship (Erasmus+), my friends often seek
me for advice. With my experience, as an applicant, a consultant professionally, a counsellor
for my tutor students, I helped them until they get admitted to universities overseas.
I was involved in IM Mentorship 2015 as a mentor. I am proud that my mentee was accepted
in his target university in US. Before, I also helped my friend to get accepted in University of
Edinburgh. At first, he was struggling: applied some universities, failed, never quits. From
the start he consulted me. What I did was to share tips for motivation letter, counsel them to
ensure they understand what the university aims for, and help review their motivation
letters. Every time he improves his essay-writing, English and "application" skill. Until
finally, he got what he wanted.
I could see how his hope has rised. Initially he was less optimistic. I positioned myself as a
friend and a good listener, so that I can give effective advice and motivation. Seeing their
success makes me feel grateful. And so I hope to see your success too. I am proud to know
smart people who keeps on improving themselves.

Essay Pitch
Studying abroad has always been the best time of my life, but to decide and really
understand the pathway that I wanted to take during that period was not easy. I didn't get
the chance to share and discuss before departing to the UK. Therefore, by joining as mentor
for the program, I really want to help assisting many people in preparing themselves for the
best time of their lives as well. Besides that, I will be able to connect with many people from
many places, which always become something that I look forward to.

Preparing yourself to live abroad is exciting, yet challenging at the same time, no matter for
how long it's going to be. I was in that place, and I feel great for my choices which has led me
to where I am at the moment. However, I also realised that some of my decisions could have
been better, if only I have the chances to know more about them by sharing with the people
who has the experiences similar to mine that time.
Being mentor for me is not new, although I didn't have the official title beforehand, I have
helped many of my friends and relatives to explore many things related to their plan to study
abroad. Assisting them to find the right school, city, major, accommodation, until how they
can make the best out of their time while being abroad has always been a pleasure of mine.
Of course, I will provide my mentoring based on my own experiences which up until now, is
still the best two years of my life.
As I departed to the UK using personal expenses, my mentoring would not be relevant on
issues related to scholarships.

dreamer and a believer that hard work will beat talent. I would like to motivate those who
want to make their next step in pursuing their dreams by believing in themselves and
working hard. I will help them by reviewing their applications, essays, sharing my
knowledge and experiences (work, study, and personal experiences). My education
backgrounds are in Accounting and Finance, and Management. My work experiences are
vary from hospitality management, operational management, finance, and so on. I actively
engaged in cultural events and voluntary work, and serve as active committees in multiple

application holistically and prepare them on what to expect from their study.
I love to travel, and I am an adventurous person. I think by visiting new place, meeting new
people, understanding their culture, and sharing my own culture will help us to see things
from a new perspective. I would like to mentor people who have the same interest and who
believe that we will live in a better world by understanding and respecting others.

What motivates me is the idea that my experience could be beneficent for other success.
Sharing the experience is a free gift that I would gladly giving. The gift is not only to those
who hopefully can take benefit from it but also to myself since mentoring is always a twoways learning process. Education is always been my personal passion and I always hope that
more people feels the same like I do. Being part of forces intending to promote higher and
global education is definitely one of the cause that Im willing to work on.

I believe I will be better at helping candidate applying for engineering and management
program, especially Project Management major as I have the relevant work and education
background for that. I might be able to mentor a candidate for other program, however I
consider that a mentee with each specific application shall pick and be mentored by those
having the closest knowledge and experience possible. But once I become a mentor, I
definitely will dedicate big efforts on my mentee development. I am willing to seek my other
colleagues opinion if needed, since I have been a member of couple chapters of student as
well as professional associations. I will always give honest opinion and be open to discuss
about every aspect of the mentee application. Once they get into their desired program,
hopefully, I am willing to keep in contact to discuss about anything.
I'm serious about wanting to share anything I can share. If I am nott picked as mentor on this
program but you find any mentees or anyone at all that you think can be benefited from my
experience as scholar, feel free to give them my email: autieminati@gmail.com.

Essay Pitch
I am dedicated to helping people to reach their highest potential when they are pursuing
their education. I also like to coach others and share my experiences with life as a student
overseas.

I have volunteered in alumni programs from Babson College in welcoming accepted students
by sharing with them what to expect and the things to prepare. I have also interviewed some
applicants to gauge their readiness and fit for the program that they are applying to, while
also sharing with them the benefits of taking or joining what class and activities. I would be
a good mentor as I am passionate in helping prospective students to really be prepared while
also get a step up in the things they can experience and should experience when they are in
school overseas.
I have been helping my alma mater in getting prospective students being prepared for life in
Babson, but I would really love to scale that to life as a college student in the US.

Essay Pitch
I used to have some hard times in facing my MBA application process. After getting admitted
to the MBA program in Yale (US) and IESE (Europe), now I know some keys to achieving the
best result for MBA admission process.
I believe that my admittance to Yale and LPDP is a blessing, and I need to give back in order
for me to be grateful for such blessing. With my current condition and capability, I believe
that mentoring is the best way to give back and empower people that might have the same
difficulties as I did back then.

My family is not a wealthy one and I do not have a strong network that could help me to get
good schools easily. I started my fight for great school and scholarship all by myself.
Nevertheless, I made it.
Even though success is not a certainty, but I believe that I could provide the right path for my
mentee to achieve his/ her success.
Currently, I have some informal mentees for MBA and LPDP scholarship. I have learned
about how to mentoring people and based on their opinion, they feel helped by my
mentoring. Moreover, I have been teaching in Mengejar UI for about 4 years, which adding
my experience in teaching and mentoring.

Essay Pitch
I hope to see more Indonesian students studying in top universities worldwide. This will
allow them to receive high quality education, gain different perspectives, and grow as world
citizens. Hopefully, they will realise that there are many things that can be improved in
Indonesia and contribute to the development of Indonesia after they graduate.
Secondly, being a mentor is another opportunity for me to give back to Indonesia as I have
benefitted from the mentorship program last year.
Lastly, I want to connect to other young Indonesians who have similar aspirations, who will
hopefully become positive contributors in the future.

Having gone through the application process to both UK and US universities and been
accepted to all universities I applied to, I understand what is required and what may help
you succeed in your application, what may work for one and what may work for the other. I
will be able to help with most aspects of the application, from preparing for standardised
tests, giving feedback to your essays (which will be a very important component of your
application), preparing for your interviews, academic or otherwise, by conducting mock
interviews should you require them, to finalising all parts of your application before you
click that submit button.
I will be committed as much as you commit to this mentorship program and I expect you to
put in much more effort than what I put in as it is your application that will determine your
future.
On a less serious note, I am looking forward to getting to know you as a person (hopefully
more than the admission officers will get to know you from your application) and working
with you.
(It will be better if I can know the mentees profiles first so that I can write more
personalised responses)
An additional assignment can be added for US undergraduate applicants. The assignment
should require each mentee to brainstorm and list at least 20 interesting things about him or
her in addition to his or her activities and achievements which are already included in past
years mentorship assignments. This can help applicants and their mentors to come out with
captivating essays that will grab admission officers attention and convince the admission
officers to admit the candidates who possess not only stellar academic results and strong
extracurricular activities but also interesting personalities that will add to the diversity of the
class.

I talked to people who are still in their high school/bachelor and wanted to continue their
education abroad. Most of them are afraid (not sure that they can make it) and confused (not
sure what and how to prepare). I want to live in a better Indonesia, where the people are not
afraid, are not confused, and do not feel inferior. I think I can contribute to that via this
program.
I also want to learn how to mentor others especially young engineers. I want to learn what is
younger engineers working on, what are they striving to achieve nowadays.

I started 2 startup companies and 1 trading business as of now. I also won several awards
during my bachelor, including an international award in an electronic design competition. In
terms of school application, ever since high school, I always only apply to 1 high
school/university and always get the one that I picked.
Most of all, I think my biggest offer is that I always treat other people with respect. You are
going to respect me, as I am gonna respect you.
I will be in Indonesia from July - end of August. Before and after that, I will still be in the
Netherlands. I prefer email/skype/Whatsapp as a mean of communication.

Essay Pitch
I am proud of my journey through failures and successes, and its up and downs. I would like
to share my experience with others so they too could experience a successful academic life
(which does not always mean good grades btw!). I love helping others and would like to help
fellow Indonesians in particular to achieve their dreams of studying abroad. Moreover, I
would like to accompany them in determining the next stage of their life in terms of what to
study and which university to choose.

"The starting point of all achievement is desire." - Napoleon Hill
I would like to add to that quote that the next step to achieving your dream is gathering
enough courage to ask others. Bahasa Indonesianya: "Malu bertanya sesat di jalan."
And I want to be that person you can rely on for help. :)
For most of you, this will be a very important stage in your life. Be it continuing your further
study, or going back to education after a few years of work. It can be a stressful and tough
time, but let me reassure you that you CAN do it. Everyone and anyone can achieve their
dream as long as they have the desire to succeed.
I want to not only give you advice on how to write a good personal statement, how to prepare
for interviews (if any), how to apply for a student visa, but also motivate you to keep fighting
throughout the journey and never give up.
Unfortunately I am unable to give any advice on TOEFL/IELTS as I never took them, but I
am willing to help you practice your writing, speaking or listening with me.
I have been in the UK for the past 4 years from Bachelor's to Master's at different
universities. I took IB (which is A-Levels equivalent) at a high school in Indonesia prior to
starting university. I have had to transfer to a different university in my undergraduate study
but that did not stop me from succeeding. I am currently finishing my Master's study.
I have been actively involved within the Indonesian Society (PPI) for 3 years. My boyfriend
was a mentor at Indonesia Mengglobal last year which inspired me to become a mentor this
year.

I have dreamt of studying abroad for as long as I can remmber, and I got the wonderful
opportunity to study at the University of Oxford and Carnegie Mellon University. There
were many things along the way that I wish I had known when I did my application, and I
aim to share my first-hand experiences so the next generation of Indonesian scholars would
not have to go to the same arduous process of university admissions without someone to
guide them along the way.

I have first-hand experiences of applying to universities abroad, from the undergraduate
level to Master's and PhD admissions. As I navigated through the whole process by myself, I
realised how difficult and confusing the process can be, especially for those without any
prior experiences. Along the way, I have many first-hand suggestions on various topics such
as picking the right school, when and how to start preparing for the test, where to start on the
personal statement, selecting the right program and professor, and ultimately the issue of
funding. I am committed to share my experiences through the mentorship program.

I graduated from Cornell with academic excellence award, I'm eager to share the tips and
inspirations for future/fellow Indonesian students to achieve the same success in this highly
competitive US universities.

I'm an Information Science major graduated from Cornell with academic excellence award,
best student from my class. I won 3 hackathons in the US this year, granted 1 award from
Clinton Initiative, and received several job offers from Silicon Valley companies. If I could
achieve these, so do you! We could prove to the world that Indonesians cannot be
underestimated, though our numbers are small (most of the international students in US are
from China and India), we can do great things! Prior to studying in the US, I worked in Japan
for almost 4 years as well. Hope you can learn something from my experience. See my profile
featured on Cornell website: http://infosci.cornell.edu/news/student-spotlight/giri-kuncoroinfo-sci-mps-16
Just an opinion: the mentees should be students who are ready to apply schools, so probably
better to get seniors, instead of juniors or sophomores/freshmen. They should be fully
committed with the assignments that I will give, so they can get full benefit of this
mentorship and get their favorite universities.

I wish to help others to overcome the odds as i have done, and providing them more
comprehensive informations which i did not enjoyed earlier during my graduate degree
application process.

I was never ever dreamed to attain higher education in USA. It was rather a more foreseeable
future for me taking another night classes in Indonesia. But here i am, successfully struggled
against all odds, achieving much where only the privileged could have. Thus, i believe you
too have the strength and the will to pursue and conquer your dream. In my eyes, what
makes America unique in their selection process is the tenacity you will have to show in
order to convince them that you have what it takes to complete the study. Based on my
opinion, if you are accepted, it is because they believe you are a bright student that able to
absorb all the knowledge and skills that they offer, as long you are willing to work hard and
never give up to fulfill your destiny.
In recent years, US Government, especially through their embassy programs, were keen to
accept as many Indonesian student as much as possible. I believe, now it's the best time to
frantically grabs all opportunities at hand.

Essay Pitch
I have several years of experience working as an educator in various fields and I am excited
to share whatever knowledge and experience that I have so far to others, so that they, too, can
achieve their dreams. I personally believe that more talented Indonesians should gain
educational experience in other countries, so that they can broaden their horizons, see the
world, and then use that experience to contribute to the development of Indonesia. This
program is a great step towards achieving that goal.

I was born and raised as a child in a small town called Sidoarjo in East Java, and thinking
back where I started, I presumably had almost zero chance of getting all of my diplomas and
degrees from universities abroad since my parents were not highly educated and they
certainly cannot afford to pay for it. But the fact that I am where I am now shows that
everyone can achieve their dreams with enough effort and guidance, and I am happy to help
and share my knowledge so that you, too, can succeed.
I have some experience mentoring students from Indonesia who want to apply to
universities abroad, and have worked as a tutor and education adviser before. Some of my
students are accepted into various top universities abroad, and my mentee from this program
last year was accepted into Stanford and Oxford. I am very familiar with the university
application process, having applied to various universities in the US and UK myself. And the
fact that I am now a PhD student and a lecturer may also help those who want to apply for a
research degree (such as MSc or PhD).
I was also a mentor for this same program last year, and my mentee successfully gain
admission to an undergraduate program at Stanford and Oxford.

Indonesian young generation has a lot of potential. By going to study abroad, they would get
invaluable experience and it would be a huge asset for Indonesia in the future, when they
come back to Indonesia. I firmly believe that sharing my own experience in pursuing study
abroad would give them extra motivation and help them to make their dream comes true. I
want more Indonesian people to go study abroad and to learn some lessons by seeing the
world from the difference perspective.

I come from technical background in computer science, spending more than 3 years in
industry and working with various companies both locally and globally. Then 2 years ago I
decided to jump into academic field by applying LPDP scholarship. I finished my master
degree last year and continued to purse a doctoral degree at the University of Birmingham,
one of the top university in UK, and has been awarded with LPDP scholarship as well for my
doctoral study. I know a lot of stuff about study in UK and about LPDP, and I would be able
to give useful advice for students who want to apply for LPDP scholarshp, or for them who
want to apply for master/doctoral degree at the university in UK.
I am quite fun person and very active on both real interaction (organisation) and digital
interaction (social media). I like people who have strong desire and willingness to achive
their dream, and always strive for the best.

I was a mentee and I'd like to pay back and contribute to be one of the mentors. I personally
can share the excitement and frustration going for graduate study and I will be able to assist
my mentee in this respect.

The most important quality that a mentor needs to have is sharp coaching skills. I have
extensive experience in this area since college i.e. winning competitions. I have also recently
started a free consultation services which has received many interests. Particuarly, I'd like to
be able to share tips in one of the most challenging requirements e.g. IELTS Writing 7. I am
committed and discipline so I will stick to the schedule which has been mutually agreed.
I will be at the best time to help mentees from July-September as I will be finishing my full
time employment in June and have more time to invest for IM before going to the UK in

I came across an article earlier this year stating that one of the reason why Indonesia still
lagging behind is the lack of qualified human resources studying and working abroad,
despite its potential people. Thus, having and still studying/working abroad, I would like to
lend my capacity to bring more Indonesian studying at best universities worldwide.

Our Mentorship will be a combination of contemplation upon the past, present and future of
Indonesia and resolution for determining personal dream and pathways to contribute for a
resilient and sustainable future of the world we're living. I am happy to mentor those who
are planning to study in development-related studies, e.g., political science, urban planning,
public policy, or humanitarian studies, particularly those with aspiration for research related
to disaster, climate change adaptation and humanitarian crisis. In the past I have extend my
individual support for some of my juniors, and now committed to channel my support
through this mentorship program. In addition to online session, we might be able to arrange
face-to-face meeting, since I frequently travel to Indonesia (mostly Bandung, Padang,

Semarang and Jakarta).
The mentorship program can be enhanced by continuously collecting and updating
information on potential international scholarship and fellowship program for Indonesian.

I think it is necessary to share the experience of studying and living abroad to those people
who will go overseas to pursue their education. To show them a different way of living, to
adapt as quick as possible, but at the same time to understand the academic life. I would like
to help the students candidate to prepare everything before they leave. I know for some
people it is not an issue, but I understand that for some other people they may need an
assistance.

I was selected as a student of Erasmus Mundus Master Program. It is a prestigious master
program in the whole world. Taking into account a very long selection process, I could assist
and give you some advice to pass all the stages of your selection process (not only Erasmus).
Starting from the essay, the English proficiency test, & interview. I could give you writing
tips since I've been writing here and there, some of them were for newspapers.
During my study, I also got a chance to travel all around Europe and the neighbouring
country. I could help you to prepare your trip to Europe & give you some suggestions to
adapt as quick as possible to prevent a long cultural shock, which may influence your study
performance.
I have been studying at three universities in Europe. I could give you a general information
about the academic life in Europe, about the lecture & exams especially if you want to study
rural development, development studies, and natural resources.
Last but not least, let's have fun a little bit. Studying is not only about to get a good grade. I
will give you some advice how to have fun in Europe

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences regarding the study and all of the aspects
related to it. I share my experiences via blog entry and corresponding with anyone who
contact me through my social media. The reason why is because I know exactly how it feels

have a limited access to it.

main weapons are strong determination and desire to learn from anyone. By choosing me as
your preference mentor, I will not evaluate you based on your academic score as long as you
have a strong ambition to learn. But don't get me wrong. I am a serious yet have a high sense

Essay Pitch
First of all, I would like to pay forward what my mentors had taught me as well as to
broaden my circle of friends. Furthermore, I feel that it is extremly crucial to help more
Indonesians in preparing themselves in the pursuit of higher education experience abroad.
Mentoring is beyond the opportunity to share academic writing tips, it is also about helping
each other in managing our expectation, individually and collectively.

Failures precede success and I know it by heart. A mentor is not a person who had never
failed in their lives. These experiences had helped me to understand how difficult and
personally challenging a scholarship hunting process can be. I will try my best to motivate
my mentee based on my experience and my friends' as well. I had applied for 8 Masters
scholarships before I obtained 5 rejections and 3 approvals. In 2013-2015, I had also applied
to enroll in 10 majors in 9 universities. All 10 applications were accepted, but the funding
came at a later time. Our learning journey starts from the day we write our enrollment
proposals, it will become more challenging by the day we need to start writing essays and
other assignments in the university which we applied to. Patience and endurance are the
other characters needed in this learning process.

I wrote about my scholarship searching process in bit.ly/CeritaTya1 to bit.ly/CeritaTya7. This
great thing that you guys are doing is in-line with mine and my friend's aspiration, which is
to provide a mentoring program for our Indonesian fellow. I hope, during and after the
mentoring process, many mentees and mentors of Indonesia Mengglobal can partner to bring
about significant social improvement in Indonesia.

Essay Pitch
The position strikes my interest because it supports the realization of my goal of
contributing to Indonesia through my passion in teaching. My future aspiration is to be a
leading scholar contributing to the solvency of complex issues impacting Indonesia, and
some of my biggest passions include enriching students knowledge, helping them discover
their passions and developing their skills. The Indonesia Mengglobal Mentorship program
provides an opportunity for me to meet students who are eager to learn and use my previous
teaching experiences in harnessing them into influential Indonesian leaders who will
advance the nations interests and improve its welfare.

Hi there!
I know that preparing for overseas studies is no easy matter - you may feel lost in the midst
of writing your Personal Statements and feel constant anxiety about the outcome of your
application. With my experiences in helping students prepare for intense English
competitions and in applying for overseas studies, you need not worry! I can impart
knowledge, offer support and share motivational stories to help you throughout your
journey.
Upon graduating in 2015 as the Valedictorian of the Faculty of Social and Political Science in
Universitas Indonesia, I was hired as a Research and Teaching Assistant (Coordinator). I
learned a great deal about the academic world through that experience, and I am ready to use
everything I know from other previous teaching and organizational experiences to help you
until I leave for London to pursue Postgraduate study in the London School of Economics
and Political Science (LSE) later in September!
I am generally a very open person, and working with you will be an absolute delight for me
because teaching is a big passion of mine.
Looking forward to help you perfect your applications, develop your potentials and better
prepare you to be Indonesias next leaders!
My previous teaching and organizational experiences have given me the experience of
working with students with different backgrounds and skill sets. They have also taught me
that everyone has a different learning curve, and that learning methods must be tailored to
each individuals specific needs. Those experiences have also made me realize how a good
mentor does not detach his or herself from the students. Instead, mentors must be genuinely
interested and deeply committed to their students' growth - able to listen to their stories,
help them overcome personal struggles and eager to see them eventually come into their
own.

There have been many supports and kindness through my journey of education, from my
parents, friends, colleagues, and professors. I owe them much, and the best way is by paying
it forward. I have been inspired and mentored by many people surrounding me. With this
program, hopefully I can use all the blessings that is given to inspire others.

To be in where I am now has been quite a journey. There were times I got rejected for getting
scholarship, but I have found my way to get up and keep trying. So my way of mentoring is
sharing my experience and yet at the same time push my mentee to bring out the best as
he/she can. I know how it felt to lose confidence and feel low after (so-called) failure and
that's why I apply this program. It's because I want others to learn from my experience and to
push them getting stronger.

Essay Pitch
I wish to assist Indonesian aspiring students to obtain their advanced education at top-class
universities (at US, in my case). Finding the true passion, long term goal, and seeking the fit
school was by no mean easy. I found myself helped by tons of extraordinary friends and
mentors, and intend to pay the favors forward.

I am an IT person turned finance, and am now enrolling to my MBA degrees, in which I will
meet various clasmates delving into business field study - varying from conventional
backgrounds (finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, consulting) to non-conventional ones
(NGO, non-profit). By this, I may fit to broader category of mentee's background and also get
advise from my relevant classmates on my mentee's study plan.
I have experienced significant distress on my education journey, from almost dropped-out of
undergraduate to turning the tides on my professional career years, earned best employee
award, hand-picked to assist C-suite executives, and landed an admit at a business school
that once surpassed Harvard as the best Business School. Some of mentees may have
problems in their confidence or in packaging their profile in the most appealing way to their
dream schools, in which I could provide assistance through the entire application process
(school research, resume & essay drafting, mock interview, waitlist strategy).
I am currently an active contributor on BPI LPDP scholarship community, founder of MBALPDP group & co-founder of Permias LPDP 2016 intake group. I have committed to them and
plan to do the same with Indonesia Mengglobal community.
I have mentored / acted as learning buddy to 50+ new recruits on banking sector during my 6yr career, and 20+ colleagues aspiring to study abroad.

I built good strategy with effective way to prepare myself to get accepted in LPDP. I also
have helped my friends to have good preparation before their deciding to submit their
application from IELTS test, essays and other things.
There are no test difficult enough if we have good strategy, positive attitude and high spirit
that I need to share with my mentee.
Currently, I work as Senior Auditor in one of Big Four Accountant Public in the world in
Assurance Department, focusing on oil and gas, mining and manufacturing industry. I can
help you to understand your goal not only by academic perspective but also employer
perspective so you can hold your well-being and competitiveness when you start to study.

I am dedicated to helping people to reach their highest potential when they are pursuing

overseas.

I have volunteered in alumni programs from Babson College in welcoming accepted students
by sharing with them what to expect and the things to prepare. I have also interviewed some
applicants to gauge their readiness and fit for the program that they are applying to, while
also sharing with them the benefits of taking or joining what class and activities. I would be
a good mentor as I am passionate in helping prospective students to really be prepared while
also get a step up in the things they can experience and should experience when they are in
school overseas.
I have been helping my alma mater in getting prospective students being prepared for life in
Babson, but I would really love to scale that to life as a college student in the US.

Essay Pitch
First thing comes to my mind if you ask the reason behind my motivation is getting new
friends. It would be much better to involve in this programme because not only I get new
friend but also I can help other people step-by-step to apply for his/her school. I love
teaching others and I am pursuing my education to become a lecturer. I think this
mentorship programme will help me how to communicate and share my knowledge and
information with other people.

I answer 'No' to the question about assisting more than one mentee, because I have
experienced about mentorship in my current university (Postgraduate Mentorscheme
Programme) and I know first hand that the best way to mentor is by a one-on-one method.
It's not like I can't assist two, in fact, I would be happier because I can get to know more
people. However, I want to optimise my time with my mentee so that he/she can get my full
focus. Thus, in return, I do hope that my mentee can give his/her full focus on their
application

Essay Pitch
I believe that people would be remembered for their legacies in the world. The way to
measure how successful people is by looking up to their contributions that impact the lives
of many people. One of the ways that I do is by volunteering at Indonesia Mengglobal as a
mentor. I have a vision that in the future, our country becomes developed because a lot of
Indonesian students study at reputable university in the USA. And, I hope in the future I can
say that "This happens because of my contributions to my country with Indonesia
Mengglobal".

Are you looking for a mentor who is experienced in tech+business? Are you looking for a
mentor who is friendly? Or, are you looking for a mentor who is easily accessible? Then, you
might want to have Prasidhi as your mentor for grad school application!
Prasidhi is now currently enrolled in MBA program at Purdue University, USA,
concentrating in Operations and Finance. The MBA program is ranked #6 for Operations
concentration worldwide. Before accepted in Purdue, Prasidhi had been working as Tech
Product Manager at Indonesia's fastest growing tech startup, GO-JEK. Also, Prasidhi has
worked with Unilever for 2 years as Assistant Manufacturing Manager in one of the biggest
ice cream factories in Asia. He aims to build Indonesia in technology and operations sector
because he believes that these sectors can highly impact the economy of Indonesian people.
He has been joining Operations Club and Finance Club at Krannert School of Management
in Purdue. Also, he is planning to have an internship in Amazon or Tesla next year.
I have experienced in giving technical mentoring to my fellow friends who want to pursue
their study in the USA, such as teaching GRE quantitative, TOEFL, writing Statement of
Purpose, and one-page Resume. Therefore, I asked myself: Why not joining Indonesia
Mengglobal?

I am not sure about the top mentors thingy, but I am willing to help the mentees in any way I

I talked to people who are still in their high school/bachelor and wanted to continue their
education abroad. Most of them are afraid (not sure that they can make it) and confused (not
sure what and how to prepare). I want to live in a better Indonesia, where the people are not
afraid, are not confused, and do not feel inferior. I think I can contribute to that via this
program.
I also want to learn how to mentor others especially young engineers. I want to learn what is
younger engineers working on, what are they striving to achieve nowadays.

I started 2 startup companies and 1 trading business as of now. I also won several awards
during my bachelor, including an international award in an electronic design competition. In
terms of school application, ever since high school, I always only apply to 1 high
school/university and always get the one that I picked.
Most of all, I think my biggest offer is that I always treat other people with respect. You are
going to respect me, as I am gonna respect you.
I will be in Indonesia from July - end of August. Before and after that, I will still be in the
Netherlands. I prefer email/skype/Whatsapp as a mean of communication.

I believe that mentorship plays an important role for a prospective student to succeed their

helpful. I just want to continue a good karma and fulfill my need of sharing what is in mind
to everyone. Thanks to IM that already did a tremendous job to facilitate this thing.

I wasn't a top 10% student during highschool or undergrad and also wasn't a person who
acquired >100 score in TOEFL IBT or full score in the all section of GRE. Instead, I began to
build my dream to study in the USA from lowest position (low TOEFL and GRE score). If
you choose me, I probably know the strategy to shape your path to study in one of the best
engineering school or at least the one in your field specialization.
I am 28 yrs old and a friendly guy, married with no kids yet, I'm not a too serious person.
Love sport, music, travelling and photography.

Essay Pitch
Indonesia Mengglobal (IM) has been consistently supporting young Indonesians to reach
their maximum potentials, so I am certain that my calling will match with what IM does.
Moreover, my previous experiences in mentoring people from different backgrounds and
characteristics - ranging from handicapped beneficiaries, villagers, to students - will also be
beneficial for the program itself. Other than that, expanding networking throughout the
process would also be valuable for all parties involved in the future.

Coming from humble background, I have always been working hard to achieve what I aim.
The whole journey has not been easy, yet fully rewarding. Fully realized that the along the
way I have been assisted by so many wonderful souls, I decided to start giving back to the
society according to my current capacity. One of the ways is by being a mentor.
Previously I mentored people from different environments and personalities, ranging from
handicapped beneficiaries (taught them Natural Science subjects), villagers (demonstrated
them how to add values to their natural products and sustain the system), and students
(assisted them in passing national exams, conducting experiments, and applying for graduate
schools). I thought this process was one-way flow - in fact at the same time I also learn so
much from them about empathy and appreciation. Not to mention, seeing the growths from
others has also been a privilege to experience. Since then, whenever I am assigned to help
others and I agree with it, I am fully committed to nurture people to be the best of
themselves.
Therefore lets work together, be the best of ourselves, and make the world the better place
according to our calling.
Currently I work as a research assistant at HKU. Starting from this September, I shall read
PhD in Biomedicine at the same university. Previously I obtained my B.Sc. in Microbiology
at ITB and M.Phil. in Bioengineering at HKUST. During college, I joined both YSEP at
Tokyo Tech and LEaRN Program at NTU. Other than that, I also have participated in some
prestigious non-academic international events, e.g. G20 Youth Summit and Novartis
International Biotechnology Leadership Camp. As all my overseas experiences have been
fully funded by respected parties, I am well-experienced in graduate school and scholarship
applications.

Essay Pitch
I graduated from Cornell with academic excellence award, I'm eager to share the tips and
inspirations for future/fellow Indonesian students to achieve the same success in this highly
competitive US universities.

I'm an Information Science major graduated from Cornell with academic excellence award,
best student from my class. I won 3 hackathons in the US this year, granted 1 award from
Clinton Initiative, and received several job offers from Silicon Valley companies. If I could
achieve these, so do you! We could prove to the world that Indonesians cannot be
underestimated, though our numbers are small (most of the international students in US are
from China and India), we can do great things! Prior to studying in the US, I worked in Japan
for almost 4 years as well. Hope you can learn something from my experience. See my profile

Just an opinion: the mentees should be students who are ready to apply schools, so probably
better to get seniors, instead of juniors or sophomores/freshmen. They should be fully
committed with the assignments that I will give, so they can get full benefit of this
mentorship and get their favorite universities.

Essay Pitch
I have been helped and mentored by many great people throughout my career. My interest is
to give back and become a mentor myself. I would like to provide guidance and advice to the
best of my knowledge to the mentees who are about to take the same/similar paths that I
have taken before. I know how important and a great advantage it is to have a great mentor
guiding oneself as he/she progresses in his/her career.

A unique thing about me is that I have broad exposure to a variety of things that are
discussed in this Indonesian Mengglobal platform. I have a BSc, MSc, and PhD. I have lived
in Jakarta, Singapore, and USA. I have worked in universities, research institutions, and a
corporate company. I consider myself a well-rounded person because I always expose myself
to interaction with people of all backgrounds from different walks of lives. Throughout my
career, I have met and been mentored by some great people. Joining Indonesian Mengglobal
as a mentor is a way for me to give back and provide guidance to those who are about to
embark on the same/similar paths that I took before.

Essay Pitch
Its close to Jakarta. To my family. Just 5 hours flight, isnt it?
Perth is easy to adapt. So many Indonesians and halal food here.
Having a student life in a-not-popular-city-like-Perth makes me understand one thought:
academic quality is not always the main reason. Life is a choice. But, what is the point of
choosing the university which may not bring you to the top level?
That clich motivates me to be a mentor for the Indonesia Mengglobal. I want to make sure
that my mentee is applying his/her school based on the quality.

I am an LPDP awardee. To be able to get the higher chance to pass the interview, I had to
have the unconditional LoA (Letter of Acceptance) and IELTS score by myself. I had done
almost everything to improve my English. I spent one month in English Village Pare (Kediri)
to take IELTS and speaking courses, couple of half-private IELTS preparations in Bandung
and plenty of hours of self-practicing. Alhamdulillah, I gained the sufficient IELTS score in
my first shot. If you are looking for a mentor from a zero-ground level, thats me.
Moreover, Ill be done my thesis seminar in June. While Ill stay here in Australia until my
visa expires in the end of August. I have no professional contract in between. I reckon the
busiest period of mentorship should be between July and September. So during that time, I
can provide my availability without any interruption.
Geophysics and geology are not as well-known as any other popular majors like finance or
mechanical engineering. Since 2012, through my blog, plenty of senior high school students
asked me about geophysics. Some of them got my email address and started communicating
privately. The questions are either about the difficulty level during the study period or the
employment chance after finishing university.
When answering this question, I just realized that Ive been doing my own mentorship in
this last five years.

Essay Pitch
I want students from indonesia to experience the jubilation and the frenzy of reading their
own letter of acceptance to one of the best schools in the world, just like I did.

During my undergraduate years, I was always dreaming of studying to top schools. And
when I say dreaming, I mean it. Never once did I think I had the chance.
It's literally just a daydream.
But somehow, I tried. I did all the preparation on my own; and I was terribly drained by
doing this without any help.
I researched everything, every single thing pertaining to the admission.
exploring suitable universities vs prestigious universities (and how they're combined),
finding their acceptance rate, emailing those schools, downloading so many test preparation
books I didn't even have the chance to open all of them, finding average standardized test
scores for each university (instead of the minimum scores which will be a drawback for top
schools), drooling over profiles of people accepted at those schools (although this made me
even more pessimistic lol), spending literally dozens of hours perusing other people's essays
and editing my essays, taking those tests (lamenting the results lol), retaking them
(lamenting again), you name it hahaha
In a nutshell, I will try my best to make them not to experience all the hardship of feeling
distraught and dispirited because of not having somebody to lend a helping hand.
1. I have been accepted to LPDP scholarship. Hopefully I can give a bit advice for students
trying to get this scholarship and answer their questions.
2. I will start my study at Stanford University this Fall (September 2016). Thus, hopefully I
can answer questions pertaining to admission process and getting the LoA (suitable top
campuses to apply, statistics of those campuses, standardized tests, LoR, essays).
But on the other hand, this makes how to adapt and have a smooth transition of living in
another country not my area of expertise.
Thanks!

different field of study, type of scholarship (or self funded), and universities sharing me
about their experience when applying to their universities campuses. On personal level, I am
someone who would love to make friend with anyone. I am easy going and quiet flexible. As
I only start my PhD recently, I can spare quite some times to help you with your application.

Essay Pitch
Based on my personal experience competing in multiple International Science Olympiads
during high school, I find that many Indonesian high school students are academically as
good, if not better, than the rest of the world. However, the fact stands that the number of
Indonesian students admitted to top US colleges is very low. The reason why it is so is
because many Indonesian students don't really know how to apply properly. I believe, given
the right guidance, Indonesian students have the potential to succeed in top US colleges and
that idea motivates me to apply for this mentorship program.

My first time applying to MIT, I didn't really know what to do. Of course, you can google
pretty much anything nowadays, but really, there is only so much that you can dig up on the
internet. I knew I was academically more than qualified back then, but yet, after going
through countless of resources online, I still didn't know how to correctly present myself in
the best way possible to the eyes of the admission officers. Luckily, I knew someone who
had undergone the same process. With his help, I was able to pour out all of my heart and
soul into my essay and made the best, wholly description of myself. To this day, I still
believe that have I not gotten his help, I might not be where I am right now.
In short, I just want to say that I know how hard it is to apply, and how important it is to
have someone helping you to go through it. Though I know I might not be the best mentor
out there, I will be more than happy to guide my mentee as best as I can throughout the
whole process.
As I mentioned in my paragraph, I participated in many Science Olympiads (IBO 2014, IJSO
2011, OSN 2010-2013) during my time in Indonesia, so I know a lot on how to deal with
applicants with this very same background (very ambitious, loves to compete). Also, I only
applied to MIT and NUS (in which I got ASEAN scholarship and was exempted from any
entrance exam) last time, so I didn't really know much of other US colleges aside from it.

accepted in respectable institute in UK, credits to colleagues who encourage and guide me
making personal statement. I hope I could help other future students that way.

I should have no restriction in time because I am expecting to resign from full time job in
August 2016. I am committed to allocate my free time before departing on October to assist
any prospective mentee. If there is any fellow students who interested in Sustainable Energy
sector, we could discussed because I have quite involved in energy industry and study since
bachelor study. I only applied for one school, the ICL which I got accepted. So if you intend
to apply for Imperial College London, I surely glad to assist you.

I really want to help people achieve one of their dreams : to study abroad. I know what it's
like to be lost, not knowing what to do and how to do certain things regarding application
processes, so I really eager to help any other student out there.

I am willing to become a mentor because I know what it's like to be lost. When I first started
my application journey, I didn't even notice the rankings of the universities I pursued. I
didn't know how to write motivation letter or personal statement, in fact, it was the first time
I heard about them. It was not a pleasant experience to have, although in the end I was
successfully admitted to some of the best universities: Delft University of Technology,
University of Edinburgh, and Imperial College London.
I don't want anyone to be as lost as I was. I really want to help. I have a lot of free time, so I
am available pretty much all the time. I can help you deciding which programmes to apply
and where, I can help you go through the application process and check the documents, and
in the end, I can help you build a matrix to decide which university should you go in the end.

There are a lot of Indonesian students out there who deserve better higher-education abroad,
but they have limitation in terms of access and assistance regarding the admission process
and/or funding. As I was previously also a mentee who felt the benefits of this program, it is
then my obligation to share my experience during the admission process.

Hi there, my name is Satrio. I am currently working as logistics analyst and will continue my
master education in TU Delft by this summer.
Preparing for admission to university is not an easy task, yet its not impossible to be
managed. Through this program, i would like to help you during the journey to be admitted
on your target school. And on top of that, i would like to assist you on how to build solid
reason to say that you deserve the higher education you're aiming.
I came from a modest family, but it doesn't stop my willingness to experience higher
education. I hope that you - as a mentee - will also be motivated to get a good education, no
matter how hard your circumstance is.
Good luck!

To help preparing the Mentees in applying for a Master's Degree study in the UK.

Preparing for an application to study aboard could be overwhelming because the to-do list
could be quite exhaustive. Having someone who has been through the same battle will
definitely help.
Before coming to the UK last year, I (and some fellow awardees in Bali) have conducted some
info sessions for students who'd like to further their study. The activity enabled us to build
network to some 'study aboard agencies', which may have information and practical
experience in helping students in the application process.

Essay Pitch
Last year, I participated as one of contributors for Indonesia Mengglobal, writing about the
reason why I pursued higher education overseas in elementary education program, in which
most people underestimate people whether they could study overseas with this educational
background. I received many positive responses from the readers who asked me to share
detail process of how I could study overseas. Thus, in this opportunity, I want to apply to be
a mentor in order to help people who want to study overseas, especially for those who are
interested to pursue in education program.

I graduated from Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar (PGSD) from Surabaya and pursued my
master in Ohio State University, majoring in Early Childhood and Elementary Education
program. During the process of applying to the U.S. universities and scholarships, too often,
many people underestimated the program that I selected. They argued that someone who
had PGSD background was impossible to study overseas. However, their response
encouraged me to prove that people who graduated from PGSD could study overseas.
During my master, I actively participated in conferences and volunteer activities such as
presenting my thesis in local and national conferences. From the conferences that I attended,
I met and built a networking with people who had various background cultures. I learn how
to be an open-minded person who is able to thrive. Besides professional development, I
committed in several cultural activities to promote Indonesian cultures as an traditional
dancer in world cultural events. With the educational background and experiences that I
have, I believe that I am a professional mentor in helping mentees with their application
process. I will commit by allocating specific time for appointments. I hope that my academic
and non academic knowledge can give valuable information for my future mentees.
My experiences in applying to the U.S. universities makes me understand how crucial the
program that someone wants to pursue. Thus, through this mentorship program, I would like
to share my experiences for those who are interested in studying overseas.

Helping and assisting potential candidates to make their best choice of education that is
suitable for them based on their interests, abilities and needs. Besides that, it is important to
help them to think rationally about their choices.

I'm interested in the field of English language and education. Now I'm taking applied
linguistics for language teaching to learn both about language and education. Personally, I
have been discussing about scholarship with some friends, giving advice to them in choosing
and applying to the university, and fortunately, some of them are already enrolled and
studying in their chosen uni now. Well, sometimes we need to consider more than the
quality of the university itself, we need to think about the specific things regarding our
major, academic culture, environment, and many more. Therefore, simply choosing the best
university in the world is not the best action.

As a fact that to continue our education to the higher degree is not that easy. We need to
prepare things. I know how hard it was when I tried to find what major, university and even
where I could find the informations, until I ended up to ask to the agency. They helped me a
lot. From that experience I really want to share things that people need to do. I would be
happy if I can help others and make them can feel what I feel now, and because caring is
sharing.

For sure, I will help you to catch your dreams. My master's degree in Adelaide (Master of

leadership and management of education which is one of the job that I could have someday
is being a counselor. I am really sure that my experience back then and now will help you to
get your aims. Iam still learning, I don't say that just because I get the scholarship to go
abroad, so I am great. No, I don't. But, I feel a great will to make you and me greater in the
future.

Essay Pitch
First of all, I would like to pay forward what my mentors had taught me as well as to
broaden my circle of friends. Furthermore, I feel that it is extremly crucial to help more
Indonesians in preparing themselves in the pursuit of higher education experience abroad.
Mentoring is beyond the opportunity to share academic writing tips, it is also about helping
each other in managing our expectation, individually and collectively.

Failures precede success and I know it by heart. A mentor is not a person who had never
failed in their lives. These experiences had helped me to understand how difficult and
personally challenging a scholarship hunting process can be. I will try my best to motivate
my mentee based on my experience and my friends' as well. I had applied for 8 Masters
scholarships before I obtained 5 rejections and 3 approvals. In 2013-2015, I had also applied
to enroll in 10 majors in 9 universities. All 10 applications were accepted, but the funding
came at a later time. Our learning journey starts from the day we write our enrollment
proposals, it will become more challenging by the day we need to start writing essays and
other assignments in the university which we applied to. Patience and endurance are the
other characters needed in this learning process.

I wrote about my scholarship searching process in bit.ly/CeritaTya1 to bit.ly/CeritaTya7. This
great thing that you guys are doing is in-line with mine and my friend's aspiration, which is
to provide a mentoring program for our Indonesian fellow. I hope, during and after the
mentoring process, many mentees and mentors of Indonesia Mengglobal can partner to bring
about significant social improvement in Indonesia.

Essay Pitch
Helping people in achieving what they have aspired to become, renders me the sense of
being grateful for it reminds me that I have been in the mentees' position: struggling (and
striving) for a better education that leads to a better life.
Besides, let's put ourselves in other people's shoes requiring assistance. If we were in the
need of other person's help, wouldn't it be nice if there were people to help us?

Preparing further education applications to universities, requires us going the extra mile.
Nonetheless, the processes are manageable insofar we are committed to it.
I applied to several universities for my postgrad degree in the UK (and am accepted) on
account of the relevance to my career vision. So:
1. Advisably, see whether the program you chose, aligns with your career vision of what you
aspire to become/accomplish;
2. Prioritize the quality of the program over that of the university, which can be seen from
whether the modules suits your interests. The quality/rank of the program compared to other
similar programs in the country is also a notable consideration.
3. An examiner of a recommendation letter looks for details on your (academic/professional)
performance/experience in the related field. So, make sure your recommendation letter is
written by a person knowing your performance really well. Big names (professor/PhD title)
are not always an indication of an appropriate recommendation letter.
Those are a glimpse of a few tips, from many, that I can advise to my potential mentees.
Moreover, I also have secured several scholarships. I can as well advise on how to a
scholarship to my mentees.
I have been involved in mentoring/guiding people on academic affairs practically my entire
life, i.e. since my undergrad tenure, during which I was part of the Advocacy and Student
Welfare Department of BEM UI. Now, in my postgrad tenure, I am engaged in the Student
Affairs Department of the Indonesian Student Association in the United Kingdom (PPI UK),
in addition to being a course representative for LLM International Banking and Finance Law

Essay Pitch
Getting a scholarship is effortful. I failed seven times for the past two years, however I keep
trying and trying until I got LPDP on December 2015. Due to feedback from my colleagues so
I can reorganise the application become better and also their moral support. I found that
having an expert colleague as a guru/adviser to pursue your ambition is necessary. Especially
if it's related to continue their studies to higher level. For that, I want to guide the mentees by
assisting them to explore their interest in a subject as well as moral support.

I think that my not easily discouraged character could be a role model by mentees and fellow
mentors. I have always wanted to work as a tutor/mentor for student that would like to keep
up on their goals particularly study on advanced degree in scope of politics and international
affairs either with scholarship of self funded.
My degree helped to develop key analysis and critical skills, while my experience that I
gained from working at NGO has been the ideal preparation for this field. I would relish the
opportunity to be part of the mentor team that works as a counsellor for mentees. Other than
that I will also provide moral support.
Although I have not had a chance to gain volunteer experience as a mentor, I have already
created successful project with NGO. I was a Project Assistant that responsible to deliver a
capacity building program on climate change issues particularly with Ministry of
Environment and Forestry of Indonesia, national stakeholders, and national media.
Additionally, I am a facilitator between the NGO, Indonesian government, and other
country's as well as coordinator for several events from weekly meeting, monthly seminar, to
high level conference.
I got passion in peace and conflict studies, diplomacy and negotiation, sharing ideas to
others, and drawing in my spare time. I am an excellent organizer, and a good planner and
maintaining a workflow that is precise and on time. I enjoy dealing with details and facts,
developing rules and guidelines, and establishing standards. With my excellent

communicative manner I find it easy to get to know people and have a large circle of
acquaintances.

It is my dream to make Indonesia as the leading country for the time to come. I see such
potential. Our generation is walking towards its golden era. Under such opportunity, I want
to take part in this effort to prepare our future, so that later we may have ready-to-use young

I am voted as Class President in my school year in Pennsylvania Law School. It gives me big
opportunity to be familiar with the culture of US education from a perfect position. I could
involve in their daily organizational culture, how to handle differences, and how to solve
problems. Being a class president also gives me boost of experience, the responsible given is
enormous as I have to lead hundreds of people from countries around the world.
Such experience gives me valuable information to share, fun story to tell, and most
importantly confidence to implant. My experience shows that, us, Indonesian, is no longer
unknown country. We have capabilities to lead to be great.

Essay Pitch
I have been in their position. Looking for guidance and collecting all the data from scratch.
At that time I wish I had a mentor who can advise me before I took 'the next step'. This is
why I want to be a mentor. I want to be that person who can be asked about the process,
share experience and guidance with someone that might need more help than just browsing
everything and make their own conclusion. Having a mentor can save time and energy. it is
very crucial because it is a decision for their future.

I have spent all year researching and finding the right strategy in the process to pursue
higher education. My last job gave me exposure to Chevening alumni so I have learnt from
the experienced people not only about IELTS test but also about picking university, majors
and finishing application process. Giving tips and consultation to take scholarship and
promoting study in UK was even in my job description. I know it by heart.
I got 7.5 in my IELTS and accepted at King's College London on my first try. I also have clear
strategy in writing personal statement which is very crucial if you want to apply master's
degree.
However, Mentor and Mentee relationship is not always about technical stuffs. It is also
about human relations. Luckily, I have talked to so many in-doubts student, and I always put
myself as approachable thus the mentee will not feel hesitant to explore my knowledge and
they can ask as many questions as they want. Being able to get answers will put you in the
right mindset for reaching your goals, in this case higher education.
Beside LPDP, I have worked for Chevening Scholarship for more than one year before I got
promoted to the new position.
I usually travel around Indonesia to Promote Chevening and UK education. I wouldn't mind
to also share and be asked about Chevening Scholarships.

Essay Pitch
For me, one of the biggest luck of all is to enjoy education. I always view education as a
privilege thus I never take it for granted. Being a mentor has always been a passion of mine.
There is nothing more satisfying and pleasing than being in an intellectually stimulating
environment where you can share experience and transfer knowledge with other people. It is
my wish to help those who are equally eager and thirsty to expand their knowledge,
network, and horizon through the mentoring program at Indonesia Mengglobal.

Being passionate about mentoring is one thing, but to invest time and ideas to help your
mentees to meet their maximum potential is even more important. Mentoring is no stranger
to me as I have been doing it since I was enrolled in undergraduate program at Universitas
Indonesia. In terms of helping mentees for their postgraduate application, not only I can
relate with their nervousness, doubt and excitement, but I can also offer them the plus and
minus of their choices. Many people think that things will go smoothly according to their
expectations once they set their hearts on specific programs and universities. It cannot be
more wrong as they have to fully understand that not every school can guarantee them in
making the best out of their talents and abilities. By having sufficient information and
experience of UK, Europe and Asia universities, I can point out the programs advantage and
disadvantage while making sure that the mentees prepare their application as best as
possible from the very beginning - whether it is an application for scholarship or
postgraduate program so that they are able to produce distinctive applications that fit the
mould of the programs they opt for.

Essay Pitch
I love to share my experience to others because I know how it felt to study abroad without
someone prepares you the upcoming stage of life. I simply do not want any Indonesian
experience bad circumstances as I did if I can prevent or minimize the possibility. Other than
that, this is a cause worth to fight for. The more Indonesian go abroad, the better Indonesian
asset would be produced.

Since I got accepted for LPDP Scholarship and went to Michigan because of that, I tried to
inspire others to follow the path. Not because I thought that I was good, but because I
believed if I could arrive in that phase, everyone could too. A lot of high potential people out
there who need to be encouraged and reminded about how great they could be if they were
brave enough to take the first steps. I did that for the last one year, convincing people to test
their limit and tease their comfortable zone's boundary. Honestly, it will not be the first time
I mentored people who would depart to study abroad. In the past, I was already invited by
@America and LPDP regarding this activity. Therefore, I would like to contribute in
Indonesia Global because I know it is the right platform to assist and train Indonesia's future
game-changers.

Essay Pitch
By having good education, we build the strong nation. It starts with the young gens who still
have long journey to conquer. Indonesian students are bright and persistent. Yet, sometimes
we have hurdles in finding the useful information regarding our study plan. The huge
potential sometimes just couldn't end up in the right place just because of lack of
information. In my case, none of my family members ever had gone to Aussie for school.
Luckily, I have peers whom I asked to review my application. Therefore, I'm willing to help
them to achieve the higher possibilities on education.

Study aboard is everyone's dream. Yet, we have to face some challenges to achieve it. In
practical, what we can do to be accepted by our dream university is by delivering our
application just like what our university' expects from the prospective candidates. That's
why you need someone to help you to match 'the application profile' with what the uni's
look after.
I am willing to support, as a peer, to review all the documents as well as give some hints on
'how to get there'. Basically, I am more confident to mentor bachelor' students, but peer to
peer mentor for master candidate can work on me as well.
I was a teacher (Indonesia Mengajar), I know how to become facilitator as well as supporter.
Sometimes we just need encouragement to boost our confidence. Yet, surely, I will support
students with eagerness to pursue their dreams with all my intentions. Basically, I got
support from my mates to get in to ANU and LPDP, I consider how important 'mentoring' is.
Please note that I'm processing to deffer my study in ANU to January 2017 due to maternity
leave.

Essay Pitch
I am proud of my journey through failures and successes, and its up and downs. I would like
to share my experience with others so they too could experience a successful academic life
(which does not always mean good grades btw!). I love helping others and would like to help
fellow Indonesians in particular to achieve their dreams of studying abroad. Moreover, I
would like to accompany them in determining the next stage of their life in terms of what to
study and which university to choose.

"The starting point of all achievement is desire." - Napoleon Hill
I would like to add to that quote that the next step to achieving your dream is gathering
enough courage to ask others. Bahasa Indonesianya: "Malu bertanya sesat di jalan."
And I want to be that person you can rely on for help. :)
For most of you, this will be a very important stage in your life. Be it continuing your further
study, or going back to education after a few years of work. It can be a stressful and tough
time, but let me reassure you that you CAN do it. Everyone and anyone can achieve their
dream as long as they have the desire to succeed.
I want to not only give you advice on how to write a good personal statement, how to prepare
for interviews (if any), how to apply for a student visa, but also motivate you to keep fighting
throughout the journey and never give up.
Unfortunately I am unable to give any advice on TOEFL/IELTS as I never took them, but I
am willing to help you practice your writing, speaking or listening with me.
I have been in the UK for the past 4 years from Bachelor's to Master's at different
universities. I took IB (which is A-Levels equivalent) at a high school in Indonesia prior to
starting university. I have had to transfer to a different university in my undergraduate study
but that did not stop me from succeeding. I am currently finishing my Master's study.
I have been actively involved within the Indonesian Society (PPI) for 3 years. My boyfriend
was a mentor at Indonesia Mengglobal last year which inspired me to become a mentor this
year.

I have dreamt of studying abroad for as long as I can remmber, and I got the wonderful
opportunity to study at the University of Oxford and Carnegie Mellon University. There
were many things along the way that I wish I had known when I did my application, and I
aim to share my first-hand experiences so the next generation of Indonesian scholars would
not have to go to the same arduous process of university admissions without someone to
guide them along the way.

I have first-hand experiences of applying to universities abroad, from the undergraduate
level to Master's and PhD admissions. As I navigated through the whole process by myself, I
realised how difficult and confusing the process can be, especially for those without any
prior experiences. Along the way, I have many first-hand suggestions on various topics such
as picking the right school, when and how to start preparing for the test, where to start on the
personal statement, selecting the right program and professor, and ultimately the issue of
funding. I am committed to share my experiences through the mentorship program.

Essay Pitch
My main motivation is because I want to share any experience I have, regarding to study
options in Australia and youth activities that they might possibly involved when study there
such as, Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) as well as Scholarship opportunities
especially LPDP Scholarship. Coming from a small and outside province like East Nusa
Tenggara makes difficult for youths there to receive information like scholarship and other
youth opportunities. Based on that fact, I am willing to assist those who are really eager to
get that information but probably face the same obstacles as I had previously.

First of all, I was graduated with Bachelor in Mathematical Science at the age of 18 in less
than 3.5 years of study with A-mark in all subjects. My specialization is in Pure Mathematics
with a thesis in Topological Spaces. During my study, I had published some works in that
area, one of them just has been published recently in 'Jurnal Matematika Integratif'
Padjadjaran University titled "Theorems-Based Separation Axioms in
Topological Spaces". This year, I have received scholarship from LPDP to continue my
master's degree at the Australian National University majoring same specialization on
February next year. Apart from my academic background, I also involve in some youth
organizations and one of them is AIYA and I'd be able to link the mentees with AIYA people
as a part of their social activities while having study in Australia. To show my commitment
in sharing experience, we from AIYA and MITRA have conducted two seminars this year
about youth opportunities including scholarships to youths in NTT and we had massive
participants (www.aiya.org.au/2016/04/aiya-ntt-and-mitra-international-opportunities-foryouth-seminar/ ; http://www.aiya.org.au/2016/05/event-recap-aiya-ntt-mitras-a-day-of-youthempowerment/) as well as a step-by-step guidance of applying for LPDP Scholarship that I
wrote prior this year (https://assosiasimitra.wordpress.com/2016/03/23/berbagi-pengalamanmendapatkan-beasiswa-lpdp-albert-christian-soewongsono/).

I am a part of 'Ikatan Awardee dan Alumni LPDP NTT'
(https://www.facebook.com/iaa.lpdp.ntt/?ref=ts&fref=ts) and one of our main responsibilities
is to help reviewing LPDP candidates' scholarship applications. Prior this month, I have
assisted some LPDP applicants to pass through the preliminary selection process and now
they are waiting for their interview result.
Another thing is, in order to help youths gain information about youth opportunities
including scholarship opportunities, with help of my friends, we had launched a page on
facebook in 2014 named 'Update Beasiswa' that provides those kinds of information.

I want to share my experiences how I can get the offer letter from some universities and
scholarships (most of them are failed) both for my success and especially for my failures. I
hope my future mentees could grab some lessons based on my story.

I have tried more than ten applications for various scholarships. Although ultimately I
experienced many failures, this is where I wanted to share my experiences to prospective
mentees to be able to take many lessons and don't do the same mistakes. In 2015, I obtained
the orange tulip scholarship from the Dutch government (partial scholarship). However, in
the end I did not take that scholarship because of my finance condition, I still wanted to
share my stories and experiences to all of you. Currently, I am not studying abroad, but I'm
working on the vaccine manufacturer company in Bandung (PT. Bio Farma). However, one
day I would keep struggling to continue my graduate studies in the field that I'm doing now.
In addition, I've ever became educator and mentor for high-school students for two years. I
love to share some information about this subject with others.
If you are interested in Orange Tulip Scholarship, Stuned, LPDP Scholarship, Turkey
Burslari Scholarship, and even the other scholarships, I'm ready to help you :)

Essay Pitch
I found numerous challenges when I applied for my PhD program, such as building
correspondence with the professors. Had I been guided by someone with experience during
those process, I would have been easier. Hence, I would like to help. I hope that I can
provide support for people to succesfully find a suitable PhD position.
Furthermore, during my study time in The Netherlands, I saw a lot of Indonesian students
who were not well prepared. I am willing to help people from Indonesia to prepare their
academic skill before continuing their study.

My name is Armina and I am a second year PhD student from Utrecht University. My
research focus is health economics. I am a pharmacist by training but I have extensive
experience working in academia.
Studying abroad is a great opportunity, not only to advance our knowledge and skill, but
also to enrich our language ability and cultural perspective. At the same time, it can also be
intimidating. We are faced with many challenges that may dishearten us even from applying,
such as the almost impossible IELTS requirement and unresponsive professors. I have been
in those shoes, and I am willing to share my experience with you all. Hopefully, you don't
have to stumble upon things that I did before, and gain more confidence in pursuing your
study. I can also help with preparing your academic skill, since I have an extensive
experience in academic writing, reading, and presenting.
I have a strong believe that Indonesian students are able to compete with others from various
countries. All you need is the right information and a good preparation.

Essay Pitch
I want to share my experiences how I can get the offer letter from some universities and
scholarships (most of them are failed) both for my success and especially for my failures. I
hope my future mentees could grab some lessons based on my story.

I have tried more than ten applications for various scholarships. Although ultimately I
experienced many failures, this is where I wanted to share my experiences to prospective
mentees to be able to take many lessons and don't do the same mistakes. In 2015, I obtained
the orange tulip scholarship from the Dutch government (partial scholarship). However, in
the end I did not take that scholarship because of my finance condition, I still wanted to
share my stories and experiences to all of you. Currently, I am not studying abroad, but I'm
working on the vaccine manufacturer company in Bandung (PT. Bio Farma). However, one
day I would keep struggling to continue my graduate studies in the field that I'm doing now.
In addition, I've ever became educator and mentor for high-school students for two years. I
love to share some information about this subject with others.
If you are interested in Orange Tulip Scholarship, Stuned, LPDP Scholarship, Turkey
Burslari Scholarship, and even the other scholarships, I'm ready to help you :)

There are lots of information on website about scholarship, however, a buddy who can assist
directly by giving feedback or guidance is a briliant idea. By sharing my study abroad
experiences, I hope it can help people who are struggling to continue their study abroad and
get scholarship.
For me, joining this program is also a kind of contribution to my country. Furthermore, I
have interest in learning, education and culture. Follow what we love creates positive energy.
It is a pleasure to be a part of this program.

When I started my study in Germany, my English was so bad but suprisingly at the end of
my study I got the best master thesis (2nd prize). I will share my tips and all of my
experiences including doing internship at one of the largest research institution in Europe.
Besides assisting your application, I also will be happy to be your "buddy" during your

Essay Pitch
Multiplier effect. I want to help people who, hopefully, will help another people. This way, I
payback a very small amount of the blessings that I've receive and convert that into another
blessings.

I am a current MBA student with a unique engineering background. I've gone through the
path where I have nobody to ask and find it quite difficult to strive.
I have an overall IELTS score of 8.0 with band 9.0 in reading, however, back then, I faced a
huge difficulty to tackle the Verbal section on GMAT. I will share my insights about facing
the GMAT and IELTS.
Throughout my scholarship and MBA application, I also have many questions inside of my
head including "How to convince the scholarship organization that I have the thing that they
are looking for? With my non-business background and experience, will I able to gain a spot
in one of the top MBA program? Etc."
I want to help you get the best application experience.

Essay Pitch
I would like to share my personal, academic, and professional experience to other Indonesian
students to assist them in making a good preparation for their future study abroad
(particularly in the UK). When I was in the stage of preparing everything to continue my
study, I was fortunate because I had more than enough emotional support and information
from my parents, friends, and former lecturers. I would like the mentees to get the same (or
even better) experience as I have got to reach their dreams.

When I first read the broadcast mail about Indonesia Mengglobal and the opportunity to
become a mentor, I knew that this would fulfil my interest in sharing experience and
therefore decided to fill the application form right away. As a psychologist who ends up
working as a human resource practitioner in a company, I am now certain that encouraging
people to reach their maximum potential is my passion. I consider my personal and
professional experience as a journey to learn about the importance of not only determination
and perseverance, but also the crucial role of social support in achieving my dreams. I have
received some encouraging recognition and rewards for my achievements, but there were
also times when I had to accept failure and criticism for my decisions. I felt very fortunate
because in whatever situations I was going through I had enough sources who gave me
emotional and informational support that I needed. Therefore, I would like to ensure that I
can pass this support on to the mentees to give them a better experience in stepping into their
targeted universities.

Essay Pitch
I was a mentee of Indonesia Mengglobal Mentorship Program in 2015. I was not the mentee
who got the grant from IM, but what I have gotten is more than that. My mentor was Martin
Tijoe, who is technically having a different education background than mine. Martin was the
best mentor I have ever had. He carefully examined my essays and connected me with LPDP
awardees when I passed the first selection of LPDP. As I have been awarded LPDP
scholarship now and getting LoA's from various universities, I would like to give back to IM
what I've experienced.

I always love to connect and interact with people who share the same vision and mission. I
believe that those who apply for this mentorship are the people who want to move forward,
creating a better future for this nation and the world. Knowledge and experiences are things
that should be shared with people and I would love to re-echo them. I have a broad
knowledge of school and scholarships applications since I have received six LoAs from top
universities abroad and full-scholarships from Indonesia and Sweden. Therefore, I do not
want to keep these experiences with me alone. I'd like to play a part in growing and
nurturing future leaders by helping them to pursue the future they want through this
mentorship program. Also, I have much time until my grad study start to give mentorship so
that'd be an advantage to choose me as a mentor.

Essay Pitch
I believe that Indonesian students are as brilliant as other students from more developed
countries. I remember how the struggle to pursue my education was, and through failures, I
managed to learn how to improve the application for myself. Had I have a mentor, I may
become more prepared in applying for universities (and scholarship). Therefore, I want to
help others who are eager to study abroad so they could strive their dream with fewer trials
and errors.

I have applied for numerous scholarships, got offered two prestigious scholarship
(Chevening and LPDP), and shortlisted for the last selection phase of two scholarships. I also
got accepted in 4 universities (3 in the UK and 1 in Germany), so I can say that I am quite
familiar with scholarship and school hunting process. I also have a few experiences in urban
design and urban planning field, as well as the passion for those subjects.
I always encourage people who want to pursue their education, because I truly believe that
we should never stop learning. As a mentor, I would love to help mentee(s) from preparing
the basic-but-necessary things (applications, essays, etc) to the small-but-apparently-essential
stuff (survival tips and money management, perhaps?).

Essay Pitch
Its close to Jakarta. To my family. Just 5 hours flight, isnt it?
Perth is easy to adapt. So many Indonesians and halal food here.
Having a student life in a-not-popular-city-like-Perth makes me understand one thought:
academic quality is not always the main reason. Life is a choice. But, what is the point of
choosing the university which may not bring you to the top level?
That clich motivates me to be a mentor for the Indonesia Mengglobal. I want to make sure
that my mentee is applying his/her school based on the quality.

I am an LPDP awardee. To be able to get the higher chance to pass the interview, I had to
have the unconditional LoA (Letter of Acceptance) and IELTS score by myself. I had done
almost everything to improve my English. I spent one month in English Village Pare (Kediri)
to take IELTS and speaking courses, couple of half-private IELTS preparations in Bandung
and plenty of hours of self-practicing. Alhamdulillah, I gained the sufficient IELTS score in
my first shot. If you are looking for a mentor from a zero-ground level, thats me.
Moreover, Ill be done my thesis seminar in June. While Ill stay here in Australia until my
visa expires in the end of August. I have no professional contract in between. I reckon the
busiest period of mentorship should be between July and September. So during that time, I
can provide my availability without any interruption.
Geophysics and geology are not as well-known as any other popular majors like finance or
mechanical engineering. Since 2012, through my blog, plenty of senior high school students
asked me about geophysics. Some of them got my email address and started communicating
privately. The questions are either about the difficulty level during the study period or the
employment chance after finishing university.
When answering this question, I just realized that Ive been doing my own mentorship in
this last five years.

I'd like to assist prospective Indonesian students who are going to study abroad, especially
in preparing with the school requirements (application, language testing, and possibly
cultural information), so they will be well-informed and well prepared for their studies
abroad, which may be challenging yet rewarding. I used to be studying abroad myself and
to me, it was a new and life changing experience. I believe having a mentor would be of help
for the prospective students and hopefully give them a greater confidence for their studies
preparation.

I'm willing to help prospective students who are preparing their application for a Master's
program in language education (or education) in Australian university. I will assist you in all
aspects of your application, including preparing for IELTS test, writing essay and get a
scholarship (if applicable).
The mentorship program is a great opportunity for mentees to get required assistance in
preparing for their studies abroad. However, the success of this program will only be
possible if the mentee is fully committed & actively participate by asking questions, doing
assignments & being open for feedback.

I applied to this program as a mentee back in 2013 when I was in the process of applying to a
graduate program. I wasn't selected as there was no available mentor with a similar
background with my field of study. I think my educational background will add to the
diversity of mentor and their specialized field of study in the program that will allow
covering more diverse mentees to join the program.

I have been through both unsuccessful and successful graduate application process. I have
learned many lessons from my experiences on applying to graduate school in the United
States. In fact, I just finished with my application process to a doctoral program, which I
would say pretty successful (applied to 8 programs and received 7 offers with full funding
from the programs). I would love to share my experience with prospective applicants and
help them throughout the school application process. Especially for those who are planning
to apply to a graduate program in the United States, in the area of Human Development,

By having good education, we build the strong nation. It starts with the young gens who still
have long journey to conquer. Indonesian students are bright and persistent. Yet, sometimes
we have hurdles in finding the useful information regarding our study plan. The huge
potential sometimes just couldn't end up in the right place just because of lack of
information. In my case, none of my family members ever had gone to Aussie for school.
Luckily, I have peers whom I asked to review my application. Therefore, I'm willing to help
them to achieve the higher possibilities on education.

Study aboard is everyone's dream. Yet, we have to face some challenges to achieve it. In
practical, what we can do to be accepted by our dream university is by delivering our
application just like what our university' expects from the prospective candidates. That's
why you need someone to help you to match 'the application profile' with what the uni's
look after.
I am willing to support, as a peer, to review all the documents as well as give some hints on
'how to get there'. Basically, I am more confident to mentor bachelor' students, but peer to
peer mentor for master candidate can work on me as well.
I was a teacher (Indonesia Mengajar), I know how to become facilitator as well as supporter.
Sometimes we just need encouragement to boost our confidence. Yet, surely, I will support
students with eagerness to pursue their dreams with all my intentions. Basically, I got
support from my mates to get in to ANU and LPDP, I consider how important 'mentoring' is.
Please note that I'm processing to deffer my study in ANU to January 2017 due to maternity
leave.

to share and motivate others in searching for scholarships and opportunities for higher level
of education in overseas' top universities.

i did several similar mentor programs before this for 2 years, and the percentage of my
previous mentees to be accepted in their universities was 100%. I commit to maintain
assisting my mentees in preparing all necessary things and documents needed to pursue
their dreams to continue their study in abroad, although it cost me my personal time. Plus,
this kind of program will be my social responsibility to others as my gratitude of receiving

Essay Pitch
Last year, I participated as one of contributors for Indonesia Mengglobal, writing about the
reason why I pursued higher education overseas in elementary education program, in which
most people underestimate people whether they could study overseas with this educational
background. I received many positive responses from the readers who asked me to share
detail process of how I could study overseas. Thus, in this opportunity, I want to apply to be
a mentor in order to help people who want to study overseas, especially for those who are
interested to pursue in education program.

I graduated from Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar (PGSD) from Surabaya and pursued my
master in Ohio State University, majoring in Early Childhood and Elementary Education
program. During the process of applying to the U.S. universities and scholarships, too often,
many people underestimated the program that I selected. They argued that someone who
had PGSD background was impossible to study overseas. However, their response
encouraged me to prove that people who graduated from PGSD could study overseas.
During my master, I actively participated in conferences and volunteer activities such as
presenting my thesis in local and national conferences. From the conferences that I attended,
I met and built a networking with people who had various background cultures. I learn how
to be an open-minded person who is able to thrive. Besides professional development, I
committed in several cultural activities to promote Indonesian cultures as an traditional
dancer in world cultural events. With the educational background and experiences that I
have, I believe that I am a professional mentor in helping mentees with their application
process. I will commit by allocating specific time for appointments. I hope that my academic
and non academic knowledge can give valuable information for my future mentees.
My experiences in applying to the U.S. universities makes me understand how crucial the
program that someone wants to pursue. Thus, through this mentorship program, I would like
to share my experiences for those who are interested in studying overseas.

Essay Pitch
As a fact that to continue our education to the higher degree is not that easy. We need to
prepare things. I know how hard it was when I tried to find what major, university and even
where I could find the informations, until I ended up to ask to the agency. They helped me a
lot. From that experience I really want to share things that people need to do. I would be
happy if I can help others and make them can feel what I feel now, and because caring is
sharing.

For sure, I will help you to catch your dreams. My master's degree in Adelaide (Master of
Education) is a bridge for me to know and learn more about education, as it gives me the
leadership and management of education which is one of the job that I could have someday
is being a counselor. I am really sure that my experience back then and now will help you to
get your aims. Iam still learning, I don't say that just because I get the scholarship to go
abroad, so I am great. No, I don't. But, I feel a great will to make you and me greater in the
future.
