ssalamu alaikum,

Maaf, mungkin tulisan ini nggak bisa menjawab semua pertanyaan antum. Tapi
mungkin bisa ngasih sedikit gambaran. Trima kash kpd moderator yg meloloskan
email ini.

KSA (kingdom of saudi arabia) adalah negri arab terkaya. Maklum negeri tua dan
memiliki 25% minyak dunia. Bagaimana dg UAE. UAE adalah negara baru. Di Dubai,
malah gak ada minyak. Kenapa bisa kaya? Karena mereka membuka "free zone area".
Semua barang keluar-masuk, bebas tanpa pajak. Kemudahan di mana2. Mau mendirikan
perusahaan, mudah asal punya duit. Nggak peduli dari bangsa atau agama apapun.
FYI, Dubai juga agak liberal. Dubai adalah state nya UAE yg paling liberal.
Tempat solat banyak, tempat maksiat juga ada. Yg bercadar banyak, yg
kebalikannya juga nggak sedikit. Di Sharjah dan Abu Dhabi, tidak seliberal
Dubai. Sharjah adalah state yg mirip dg KSA. Ada kasus gadis 14 th yg disentuh
perutnya (dg niat menggoda)  oleh org india waktu di lift. Apa yg terjadi
selanjutnya? Indian tadi dilaporkan polisi dan dituntut hukuman cambuk.

Masalah bahasa
============
Di UAE, bahasa utama adalah bahasa inggris meski UAE negri arab. Antum ngak
perlu bisa berbahasa arab, walaupun adaikan bisa, itu jelas lebih baik. Bisa
dikatakan, 80% penduduk UAE faham bhs inggris, terlepas dari spelling dan
grammar yg salah. Tapi jangan meremehkan bhs arab, lha wong semua khutbah bhs
arab. Semua kajian di TV dan radio juga bhs arab. Oh ya, 50% dokumen di UAE
masih berbhs arab tanpa terjemahan bhs inggris. Jadi jangan sampai buta bahasa
arab. Apalagi indonesia dikenal sebaga akbaru biladul muslimina fil alam.

Ada kisah menarik. Teman saya dari Syria. Dulu pertama kli kerja di Sharjah
bergaji 1800 AED. Kecil banget utk ukuran engineer di UAE. Tapi beberapa th
kemudian, Allah memberinya kemudahan. Dia membuat perusahaan kontraktor sendiri
dg bekerja sama dg org lokal (UAE citizen). Nggak lama, dia sudah punya uang
jutaan dirham. Tidak seperti di Indonesia yg pembayaran proyek nya sering mbulet
dan ruwet (apalagi proyek swasta), di UAE alhamdulillah semua clear. Bahkan
check nya diberikan saat itu juga utk masalah pembayaran proyek. Lalu, bukankah
utk menguasai medan UAE harus bisa berbhs arab?

Masalah akomodasi
===============
saya belum pernah ke KSA. Tapi sering dengar cerita ttg KSA. Di KSA, akomodasi
muraaaah banget. Bisa mencapai sepertiga di UAE. Ingat, akomodasi di UAE hampir
bahkan bisa lebih mahal ketimbang di Paris bahkan london. Tergantung gaya hidup.
Sewa kamar di Abu Dhabi>Dubai>Sharjah. Semaki kecil kota/state, semakin murah.
TAPI perlu diingat, Gaji2 di Abu Dhabi juga >Dubai>Sharjah.

Sebagai contoh di sharjah: bed space = 300-500 AED per bulan, sharing room 500 -
1000 AED per bulan, studio 25000 per tahun, 1 bed room 35000 - 45000 per tahun.
Di Dubai? lebih mahal. Di Abu Dhabi, lebih mahal lagi.
Saya dengar di  Riyadh, harga 3 bedroom di downtown = 700 Riyal (mohon di cek).
Murah banget tho di KSA. FYI, 1 AED = 1 Riyal = Rp. 2500. 1 USD = 3.68 AED
(fixed rate)


Jobs in UAE
=========
Ingatkah antum ttg hadits yg intinya kira2 bahwa para penuggang onta akan lomba
tinggi2an gedung. (mohon dikoreksi). Ya di UAE lah tempatnya. Tidak ada
pembangunan yg segemerlap dan sedahsyat UAE. Tidak di USA, tidak di France,
tidak di UK, Tidak di KSA, tapi di UAE. Proyek dimana2. Nggak punya taman,
padang pasir diubah jadi taman indah. Nggak punya daerah tropis, lautan disulap
jadi pulau2 yg bernuansa tropis dg bentuk pohon palm. Padang pasir, diubah jadi
pusat bisnis lengkap dg gedung2 pencakar langit melebihi Oxford Street nya
London dan La Defense nya Paris, apalagi Sudirman nya jakarta. Nggak punya
danau, mbuat danau sendiri di tengah padang pasir. Dan semuanya terjadi dalam
kurun waktu kurang dari 10 tahun. Indonesia mbuat suramadu saja, plan nya itu
sejak th 80. Sekarang saja  belum jadi.

Di UAE, insya Allah bisa dibilang ngak ada engineer yg nganggur. Yg ada engineer
bergaji rendah. Semua engineer kepakai, terutama civil, MEP, dan IT. Tapi yg
namanya proyek, mereka juga butuh sopir, akuntan, resepsionis, cleaning service,
office boy, security, tukang, mandor, etc. Saat ini pemerintah dubai sedang
membangun jalan rel KA. Rel ini rencananya akan diperpanjang sampai ke kuwait
dan bahrain. UAE juga sedang membangun sistem transportasi berasaskan IT seperti
di eropa.

Utk lebih lengkap mengenai job, salary dan accomodation, silahkan lihat
www.gulfnews.com
www. khaleejtimes.com

lihat bagian classified, lalu klik jobs atau accomodation

Masalah gaji
=========
Jelas, gaji di UAE>gaji di KSA. Bisa dibilang, gaji di UAE 1.25 - 1.5 bahkan 2
kali lebih besar ketimbang di KSA, tergantung jenis kerja, pendidikan, etc etc.
Tapi ingat, di UAE, sewa kamar mahal, pendidikan (utk anak) mahal, kesehatan
mahal. Di KSA, saya kurang tahu, tapi lagi2 kata teman saya yg famili nya kerja
di KSA, pendidikan gratis, kesehatan gratis, sewa kamar muraaaaah banget.

Gaji di UAE utk insinyur (paling fresh sampai paling senior) berkisar 2,000 -
60,000 AED tergantung:
-tingkat pendidikan
-lulusan dari mana?
-pengalaman (adakah pengalaman di negri arab sebelumnya?
-keberanian menerima proyek
-cara "menjual diri" anda ketika interview
-paspor (paspor barat atau paspor non-barat)
-kemampuan bhs inggris dan arab

Sebagai contoh,
1. gaji municipality engineer (insinyur PNS) di sharjah dg pengalaman di UAE
selama 4 tahun, sekitar 9000 AED.
2. gaji fresh engineer dari india dg pengalaman 1 th dari india dg pendidikan
india dan bhs inggris yg bagus di kantor saya adalah 3000 AED.
3. gaji executive manager dg paspor barat dan  berpengalaman puluhan tahun, bisa
mencapai 60,000 AED per bulan

Masalah solat, puasa, umroh, haji
=========================
UAE tidak seketat KSA. MAsjid dimana2, tapi kalau adzan, mau ke masjid, mau main
kartu, mau main catur terserah anda. Kalau di KSA? Semua nya harus tutup ketika
adzan datang. Di KSA, Romadhon adalah holiday, di UAE, masih working day cuman
dikurangi jam nya. Liburan hari raya pun cuman1-2 hari. Lebih banyak di indo,
kan.

Mau umroh/haji? silahkan, tapi gajinya dipotong. Karena gaji dibayar berdasar
jumlah hari kerja anda.
Biaya umroh: visa 250 AED, Bus 400 AED, lain2 (penginapan, etc) sekitar 200-500
AED tergantung kebutuhan
Biaya haji: 9500-13000 AED (by bus). >18000AED (by plane)

Kalau di KSA, ya gratis tho. Paling cuman mbayar busnya saja yg saya yakin gak
sampai 500 riyal itu pun kalo tinggal outside makkah.

Cara2 ke UAE
==========
Indonesia ini negri yg aneh. Engineer di mana2, tapi agen  tenaga kerja HANYA
khusus pembantu. Lain dg US yg agen kerja nya khusus utk dokter spesialis,
insinyur, etc.

OK, ini cara2 ke UAE
1. Jika ada lowongan di koran atau apapun yg menjurus ke UAE, segera daftar
2. ikut milis Lowongan_Migas@yahoogroups.com krn banyak lowongan ke negri2 arab
3. Coba tanyakan ke UAE embassy, syarat2 apa saja agar bisa visit ke UAE.
Saya pribadi, tidak bisa mengundang antum krn saya bukanlah owner perisahaan,
saya hanyalah employee. Yg bisa saya undang hanyalah keluarga kandung. Jadi
mohon maaf jika ini terkesan hanya mengiming2i.
4. appy job via email di persahaan2 yg mengiklankan di gulfnews.com atau
khaleejtimes.com. Kalo beruntung, mungkin anda akan dipanggil langsung dan
dikasih visa ke UAE secara cuma2.

Penutup
======
Ya ikhwatii, jalan kesuksesan (baik dunia/akhirat) tidaklah mudah. Saya sendiri
nekat ke prancis (Ecole Centrale Paris) utk studi. Saya nekat krn ECP tu
sekolahnya para top engineers di prancis dan sayang utk dilewatkan, padahal
sudah ketrima + gak ada SPP lagi + digaji selama masa riset. Saya gak bisa bhs
prancis waktu itu, kecuali sedikit. (Saya yakin ada anggota milis ini yg masih
ingat dg niat nekat saya ke paris tanpa persiapan yg memadai). Tapi sedikit demi
sedikit, alhamdulillah bisa. Studinya saja susah bukan main ditambah waktu itu
saya nggak paham bhs prancis + uang saya yg nggak bisa cair krn pegawai citibank
salah enter code (yg seharusnya ke bank di paris, eh masuk ke bank di jerman).
Uang baru saya terima setelah 4 bulan.

Bayangkan, hidup tanpa dukungan finansial di kota paris selama 4 bulan, nggak
lancar prancis, dan harus menghadapi exam di kampus dg bahasa prancis. Utk
tidur, saya lebih memilih tidur di masjid (alhamdulillah ada masjid dekat
kampus), padahal lagi musim dingin dg suhu -10. FYI org prancis itu anti bhs
inggris. Lebih baik berprancisan ria tapi belepotan ketimbang beringgrisan dg
cas cis cus.

Setelah dari paris, apakah  langsung seperti saat ini. Demi Allah tidak. Masih
banyak rintangan yg harus saya lalui. Saya nekat ke London. Sendirian, tanpa
teman, tanpa ada kenalan. Hanya dg bismillah.

Setelah di London, kartu ATM saya hilang, padahal uang saya masih di Paris
semua. Kembali ke Paris lagi? Nggak mungkin saat itu, memangnya mau berenang
lewat selat inggris. Duit di dompet tinggal 5 pounds, dan harus tinggal di
London, kota termahal di dunia, 5 kali lebih mahal dari paris. Alhamdulillah,
ada saja jalan keluar dari Allah. Sampai akhirnya saya diundang kawan (UAE
citizen) yg PhD di UK utk mampir ke Sharjah. Di Sharjah, apakah masalah sudah
beres? Ada saja masalahnya. Panjang, panjang, dan panjang serta berliku2.

Semoga dg kisah saya di atas, antum lebih fight dalam hidup ini.
Bukankah:
Man jadda wajada
There is a will there is a way, insha Allah.

Allahu A'lam,

Hanif, MSc, M.ASCE
Registered Structural Engineer
Sharjah - UAE

PS. barakallaahu fiikum kepada saudara2ku yg menolongku selama di Paris, dan
London yg namanya nggak bisa saya sebut satu persatu krn saking banyaknya. Dan
semuanya yg menyemangatiku sebelum dan ketika studi di Paris. Semoga Allah jalla
wa 'alaa membalas dg kebaikan yg banyak dan berlipat ganda.

Dear All,

Saya salah seorang pendaftar beasiswa doktor DIKTI (program Doktor LN)
2007 melalui universitas tempat saya mengajar. Universitas saya
mendaftarkan saya sebelum saya berangkat ke LN.

Jika ada yang tahu, saya ingin menanyakan beberapa hal:
1. kapan dan bagaimana saya bisa mengetahui apakah saya lolos beasiswa
ini atau tidak?
2. Apakah DIKTI langsung membalas melalui universitas? kalau iya,
apakah sudah ada yg menerima balasan? atau akan diumumkan di website
http://ditnaga-dikti.org/?
3. Mungkin hal ini udah pernah ditanyakan, tapi saya tidak menyimak.
Negara apa saja yang dikategorikan "negara maju" di program ini? (Saya
masuk di Universitas Korea semester ini)

Maaf kalau terlalu cepat menanyakan mengingat program beasiswa ini
baru ditutup tgl 1 Oktober 2007. Terima kasih sebelumnya.

Salam,
Augie

bisa dimodifikasi sesuai dengan format Form A_KLN yang diperuntukkan

mengeditnya.

sbg alternate candidate, peluang mendapatkan beasiswa tidak bisa diprediksi.
begitu ada penerima beasiswa yang tidak bisa berangkat, alternate candidate
nomor 1 menggantikan (diikuti nomor 2, 3, dan selanjutnya)
setahu saya, semua penerima beasiswa Fulbright bisa hidup cukup2 saja tapi tidak
berlebihan sekali, ya kalau mau menabung berarti harus hidup hemat (potong dari
living expenses)

-----------

Dear all,
Kakak saya telah melampaui proses2 seleksi beasiswa Fulbright sampai wawancara.
Kemudian datang imil ini, yang disitu disebutkan bahwa dia telah terseleksi
sebagai alternate candidate.
-Adakah dari milister semua yang pernah punya pengalaman serupa (menjadi
alternate candidate Fulbright)?
-Bagaimana ya kira2 peluang alternate candidate untuk mendapatkan grant
fulbright?
-Mohon sharingnya dari yang pernah berpengalaman mendapatkan beasiswa ini,
mengenai uang beasiswa yang sekitar 30,000 USD/tahun itu apakah hanya pas untuk
mengcover tuition+fees+ living expenses ataukah ada uang lebih yang bisa
tertabung?

-Terimakasih banyak atas perhatian semuanya-
(^_^)

Dear **********


I am pleased to inform you that you have been
officially nominated as an alternate candidate for a Fulbright Program
scholarship to pursue study for a Master's degree in the United States
commencing with the Fall 2008 academic term. Official and final selection
for this prestigious program is contingent upon the approval of the J. William
Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) in Washington,
D.C., the amount of scholarship funds
available for the 2008 Fulbright program, and your acceptance for admission by
an accredited college or university in the United States.


Please note that as an alternate candidate your
participation in the program is contingent on the availability of additional
scholarships for the 2008 Fulbright program. There is no guarantee that
this will be available. Usually, we will know some time in July 2008 about
your status with the program. However, in the meantime, we have to submit
your application to several universities in the U.S. and process your
application
due to deadlines.


Your preliminary selection as an alternate candidate
in what is widely acclaimed as one of the premiere and most esteemed academic
exchange programs in the world is an acknowledgement of your academic and
professional accomplishments. I am confident that you will exemplify the
same standards of excellence if and when you assume the responsibility as a
representative of Indonesia
to the United States of
   America. In doing so, you would
exemplify the guiding principle of the Fulbright program which seeks to enhance
mutual understanding and cooperation between the people of the United States and
Indonesia through educational and
cultural exchange.


Please accept my personal congratulations for your
selection as a new Fulbright alternate candidate representing the Republic of
Indonesia.


Sincerely yours,


Piet Hendrardjo


Program Officer

Hi Ryza,

   1. Untuk alat peraga kebudayaan, kira kira kamu mau bawa apa? wayang? batik?
Batik memang khas, tapi tidak begitu menarik buat mereka. Juga wayang, tidak
begitu menarik. Kalau aku saranin, coba bawa video pariwisata. Kenalin tentang
Ujung kulon, Raja Ampat ato krakatao, daerah daerah legenda dunia...Selain mudah
dibawa, juga itu paling menarik buat mereka.
   Untuk makanan, bawa saos ABC hahaha, mereka suka n suprise! Mie juga...hahaha

   2. permohonan bebas fiskal bisa diminta dari imigrasi kalau ada surat sponsor
dari depdikbud (kalo gak salah ya...saya lupa..., aku harus cari telp. kontak-ku
dulu...coba japri, nanti ku kasih)

   3. Agak hati hati dengan prosedur administrasi turki. Banyak dialog dengan
keduataan disana. BEgitu sampai langsung kasih kabar dan kasih tau kondisi
disana. Living cost, artinya tidak usah bekerja. Saya pikri dengan menjadi guru
disana, berarti living cost itu 'gaji' anda...mungkin...

   4. gak perlu register di kbri. begitu sampe sana, langsung telp aja.

   5. saya banyak teman yang 'terpercaya n baek disana. Kalo mau saya kasi

Teman2 yth,
Nama saya Andi, skrg sedang mengambil kuliah di RWTH Aachen. Saya share
informasi bahwa industri logam, baik baja dan non-baja (aluminium, tembaga,
dsb) di Jerman sekarang sedang membutuhkan banyak sekali tenaga kerja. Saat
ini terjadi gap yang besar karena terlalu banyak lowongan kerja dengan
terlalu sedikit jumlah lulusan. Teman2 tidak perlu kuatir dengan visa kerja
karena sekarang pemerintah Jerman sudah memperbaharui aturan penerimaan
tenaga kerja, jadi teman2 bisa bekerja di Jerman kalau sudah lulus. Sebagai
informasi, lulusan S2 fresh graduate akan mendapatkan salary berkisar 45
sampai 50 ribu per tahun di Jerman. Cukup menarik bukan?

Jurusan ini cocok untuk teman2 lulusan Teknik Mesin, Teknik Material, Teknik
Kimia dan Teknik Fisika. Kalau teman2 tertarik, sebaiknya buruan soalnya
pendaftaran S2 jurusan metalurgy di RWTH Aachen akan berakhir awal 2008.
Untuk informasi pendaftaran lengkap, teman2 bisa mendapatkannya melalui
website di bawah ini.

Dear Palupi (dan juga kakaknya),

tahun lalu saya mengalami perjalanan rollercoaster yang luar biasa
saya mendaftar program Fulbright untuk tahun 2007 ini
dan setelah semua seleksi, saya mendapatkan amplop tipis yang mengatakan bahwa
saya tidak mendapatkan beasiswa tersebut
tapi kemudian saya menerima imel beserta amplop besar dan tebal yg dikirim via
TIKI yang mengatakan bahwa saya mendapatkan beasiswanya
bisa dibayangkan bagaimana kagetnya saya
saya kemudian mengirim imel ke Piet Hendrarjo untuk memastikan
dan dalam imel beserta surat yang dikirim kepada saya tidak ada kalimat
"alternate" sama sekali
jadilah saya berjuang keras mengerjakan segala formulir tambahan dan persiapan
tes GRE dan TOEFL dalam waktu yang singkat
(padahal waktu itu sedang libur lebaran, jadilah saya tidak liburan tapi stress
membuat ini itu, hahaha...)

setelah semua effort dilalui dan sampai harus mendaftar online untuk urusan
pendaftaran uni, tibatiba awal tahun ini saya mendapatkan amplop tipis lagi yang
mengatakan bahwa saya tidak bisa berangkat tahun ini karena dana dari kongres
tidak sesuai harapan dan saya diundang untuk apply lagi
benar2 mengecewakan dan saya terpukul sekali
setelah berpikir 3 hari, kemudian saya kirim surat ke Michael E. McCoy dan saya
tembuskan ke Pak Piet Hendrardjo
yang intinya saya mengerti kalau keputusan terakhir tidak ada di tangan panitia
Indonesia tapi sebagai lembaga dengan reputasi besar seperti Fulbright,
konsolidasi sangat penting, cek dan ricek jumlah beasiswa yang avail juga
penting
saya sampaikan bahwa saya masih pikir-pikir untuk apply lagi
(padahal saya berencana akan mencoba lagi, cuma mau kasih sdkt ancaman saja,
hahaha..)
dan Fulbright beserta Aminef perlu membuat sistem yang lebih baik supaya tidak
ada lagi kejadian serupa di masa datang
rupanya perbaikannya adalah dengan menyisipkan kata "alternate" sebagai cue
bahwa kita dalam daftar cadangan...
jadi, berharap saja yang terbaik tapi rencana kedua juga harus ada...

untungnya, setelah wawancara dengan Fubright dan sebelum ada kepastian jawaban,
saya juga mengirimkan aplikasi ADS
ternyata, setelah mendapat amplop besar dari Fulbright, saya juga mendapat
amplop besar dari ADS
dan saya dijadwalkan ikut tes IELTS dan wawancara di pertengahan dan akhir
Januari
karena saya belum pernah ikut tes IELTS dan penasaran dengan bentuk tesnya,
jadilah saya ikut
waktu itu saya ikut dengan perasaan "nothing to lose" krn sudah merasa akan
sekolah ke US
lalu kawan saya yang pernah mendapat ADS mengatakan kalau saya tidak akan tahu
hasil IELTS saya kalau saya tidak ikut wawancara
karena hasilnya hanya akan dirilis kalau kita ikut wawancara ADS
karena niat awal ingin tahu seperti apa tes IELTS dan berapa skor saya maka
akhirnya saya ikut juga wawancara ADS
lalu dua minggu kemudian datanglah amplop tipis Fulbright tersebut yang
mengobrak-abrik emosi
tapi memang ada kekuatan yang lebih besar dari kita
yang mengatur kita semua seperti bidak-bidak dalam permainan catur
sembilan hari dalam kesedihan, saya dikabari teman bahwa ADS sudah mengumumkan
hasilnya di website
lagi-lagi kebodohan terjadi, saya tidak tahu nomor ADS saya, yang saya tau hanya
nomor tes IELTS saya
(ADS tidak mengumumkan nama2 penerima beasiswa di website ADS awardee 2007)
ketika saya cek, nomor itu tidak ada di website
iseng-iseng saya cek kolom tanggal lahir dan ternyata ada tanggal lahir saya
disana tapi nomornya benar2 berbeda
saya pun berpikir kalau orang ini sangat beruntung
anehnya saat itu saya tidak merasa terlampau sedih
mungkin efek rollercoasternya Fulbright masih terasa
ketika saya sampai rumah, ternyata amplop besar ADS saya sudah menunggu
ternyata orang yang beruntung itu adalah saya sendiri... hahaha... sampai
sekarang saya masih sering senyum2 sendiri mengingat kejadian itu
dan ternyata lagi, saya bisa berangkat Mei 2007 (dan April saya sudah harus ikut
EAP)
justru lebih cepat dari perkiraan semula kalau saya berangkat sekolah atas
beasiswa Fulbright
sempat pontang-panting mengurus semua pekerjaan
tapi semua berhasil diselesaikan dengan baik

jadi disinilah saya sekarang...
sedang berjuang dengan major assignments setelah naik rollercoaster emosi yang
luar biasa
dan ternyata di sini saya bertemu seorang teman yang juga menaiki rollercoaster
yang sama
rolercoasternya pemburu beasiswa, hahaha...
rasanya benar2 sureal tapi itulah yang terjadi

untuk Palupi dan kakaknya,
selamat saja
semoga bidaknya kali ini memang harus melangkah ke US
kalau tidak, mungkin ada rencana lain untuk kakak Palupi
semoga semua yang terbaiklah yang terjadi pada kita semua ya

Subject: [beasiswa] [BUTUH INFO] Alternate Candidate Fulbright?














             moderator:

sbg alternate candidate, peluang mendapatkan beasiswa tidak bisa diprediksi.
begitu ada penerima beasiswa yang tidak bisa berangkat, alternate candidate
nomor 1 menggantikan (diikuti nomor 2, 3, dan selanjutnya)

setahu saya, semua penerima beasiswa Fulbright bisa hidup cukup2 saja tapi tidak
berlebihan sekali, ya kalau mau menabung berarti harus hidup hemat (potong dari
living expenses)



-----------



Dear all,

Kakak saya telah melampaui proses2 seleksi beasiswa Fulbright sampai wawancara.

Kemudian datang imil ini, yang disitu disebutkan bahwa dia telah terseleksi
sebagai alternate candidate.

-Adakah dari milister semua yang pernah punya pengalaman serupa (menjadi
alternate candidate Fulbright)?

-Bagaimana ya kira2 peluang alternate candidate untuk mendapatkan grant
fulbright?

-Mohon sharingnya dari yang pernah berpengalaman mendapatkan beasiswa ini,
mengenai uang beasiswa yang sekitar 30,000 USD/tahun itu apakah hanya pas untuk
mengcover tuition+fees+ living expenses ataukah ada uang lebih yang bisa
tertabung?



-Terimakasih banyak atas perhatian semuanya-

Dear **********



I am pleased to inform you that you have been

officially nominated as an alternate candidate for a Fulbright Program

scholarship to pursue study for a Master's degree in the United States

commencing with the Fall 2008 academic term. Official and final selection

for this prestigious program is contingent upon the approval of the J. William

Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) in Washington,

D.C., the amount of scholarship funds

available for the 2008 Fulbright program, and your acceptance for admission by

an accredited college or university in the United States.



Please note that as an alternate candidate your

participation in the program is contingent on the availability of additional

scholarships for the 2008 Fulbright program. There is no guarantee that

this will be available. Usually, we will know some time in July 2008 about

your status with the program. However, in the meantime, we have to submit

your application to several universities in the U.S. and process your
application

due to deadlines.



Your preliminary selection as an alternate candidate

in what is widely acclaimed as one of the premiere and most esteemed academic

exchange programs in the world is an acknowledgement of your academic and

professional accomplishments. I am confident that you will exemplify the

same standards of excellence if and when you assume the responsibility as a

representative of Indonesia

to the United States of

   America. In doing so, you would

exemplify the guiding principle of the Fulbright program which seeks to enhance

mutual understanding and cooperation between the people of the United States and
Indonesia through educational and

cultural exchange.



Please accept my personal congratulations for your

selection as a new Fulbright alternate candidate representing the Republic of
Indonesia.



Sincerely yours,



Piet Hendrardjo



Program Officer

Halo Mbak Putri,
namanya juga kuliah maka pasti kita dapat ilmu baru, betul ndak? Belajar
bahasa Jerman juga bisa dimulai paling tidak sudah 1-2 semester di Goethe
soalnya ini diperlukan kalau kita belanja, ke bank dan kehidupan sehari-hari
lainnya. Kalau di kampus, bisa memakai bahasa inggris kok.

S2 di sini banyak hafalan. Pokoknya kalau Mbak jago menghafal, pasti bisa
lewat dengan aman. Sistem Jerman memaksa mahasiswa untuk bisa menghafal
dengan memori besar karena mahasiswa dituntut untuk bisa mengambil keputusan
cepat kalau bekerja di industri nanti berdasarkan memori yg dimiliki. Untuk
master thesis, baru kita menggunakan analisa dan hitung2an.

Maaf saya kirim email ini ke milist beasiswa karena teman2 yg lain mungkin
mempunyai pertanyaan serupa.

Salam,
Andi

What is the Asian Scholarship Foundation?


The Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF) is an Asian-led non-profit organization
funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation that is mandated to:

     * strengthen regional capacity to produce scholarly research on Asian
societies;
     * create a network of Asian specialists on Asian Studies in Asia;

regional expertise, establish a multilateral network of Asian specialists from
many disciplines, professional fields and countries, stimulate interdisciplinary
research and inter-societal comparison, and contribute to new developments
within existing area studies communities. The awards offer opportunities for
outstanding young and mid-career Asian scholars, and professionals to gain
knowledge of the countries in the region and an understanding of the contexts
that shape global and regional issues through research. They enable the awardees
to conduct research in a participating Asian country for six to nine months.

listed candidates are interviewed by the review committee for their region at
meetings in Beijing, New Delhi, and Bangkok. (The Asian Scholarship Foundation
covers the travel expenses of short listed candidates.) The applications of
