nationwide alumni of the past and present NZ Scholarships Programme

year, with representation from across the archipelago.
 Non Manaaki Alumni: INSPIRASI, LPDP and Self Funded Alumni
 Indonesian alumni have established many separate small groupings not
well interconnected or organised in a meaningful way.
 We recognise our alumni and people-to-people connections therefore we
need to be making a strategic investment into strengthening our alumni
engagement

 Manaaki Scholar and Alumni Events Fund (SAEF)
