InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – For all these years, one program that Palm Oil Plantation Fund Management Agency (PFMA) proposed is palm oil scholarship. It fully delivered scholarship for the students, starting from transportation costs from and to home, education costs, living costs, books, graduation, and certification costs out of diploma documents from their universities.

Director of Finance, General, Obedience, and Risk Management PFMA, Zaid Burhan Ibrahim said it when having the visit of Commission III Belitung Timur Legislators at Ruang Nusantara I, Thursday (27/4/2023).

Zaid said that in 2022 the scholarship given by PFMA covered 1.000 men. In 2023 just like what steering committee told, the numbers would be increasing to be 2.000 men. “PFMA hope that this could be socialized to smallholders in Belitung,” he said, as InfoSAWIT quoted from the official page of PFMA.

Meanwhile the representative of Belitung Timur Legislators led by Chairman of Commission III, Jafri told that their visit to PFMA was specifically to get and dig any information about fund support in palm oil scholarship.

“We already know that PFMA would always deliver support for research fund, scholarship for students. We would like that what PFMA informed would be also told to the people of Belitung Timur,” Jafri said.  (T2)
