Sampoerna Academy
“Establish schools of
international standards, and promote the teaching of life skills and
leadership development through boarding education”
In support of the Ministry of National
Education’s initiative “Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional”, Putera
Sampoerna Foundation embarked on a complementary effort to provide
deserving teens, students with excellent academic standing and bright
potential but coming from the lowest economic quintile, with access to a
world class secondary or high school education through Sampoerna
Academy.
Sampoerna Academy is a scholarship partnership program between Putera Sampoerna Foundation and some provincial governments with a comprehensive boarding system to instill the values of leadership skills, morality, empathy, tolerance and social consciousness necessary to facilitate the development of future young leaders.
With a lower teacher-to-student ratio,
Sampoerna Academy will be better equipped with qualified teachers,
quality curriculum and English proficiency that will enable the
graduates to qualify for the entry into any leading university in any
English-speaking country.
For the first step, two Sampoerna
Academies, SMAN 10 Malang and SMA Negeri Sumatera Selatan have been
opened in 2009. As many as 232 students have been selected and awarded
with the scholarship. The scholarship scheme on this program covers
tuition fees, dormitory-living expenses, text books, medical benefits
and student’s uniforms.
In line with the Putera Sampoerna
Foundation’s vision and mission as well as its aim to establish one
Sampoerna Academy in every province within the next ten years, another
Sampoerna Academy is slated to be launched next year in Bali.
