PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Eight students from SMKN 1 Bandung received Pancawaluya Personal Scholarships. They are very grateful for the assistance initiated by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi.

"Thank you, Mr. Governor. Thanks to this scholarship, I can help ease the burden on my parents in buying school uniforms, stationery, and other school supplies," said Fadiya Putri in her letter, Wednesday (1/4/2026).

Aira Oktavia felt something similar. Besides easing her parents' burden and paying for uniforms and school supplies, the scholarship also covered her travel expenses to and from school.

"Because, previously, it was very difficult to get money to go to school," he said.

Another student, Melati Agustin, also felt the scholarship had eased her parents' burden. "Thank you for the gift, sir. It's less of a burden on my parents," she explained.

Meanwhile, Noci Rahmayani wrote that this scholarship was the answer to her prayers for family happiness. "I've always refrained from buying new stationery because I had to prioritize more pressing needs. Seeing the relief in my parents' eyes as their school fees have been reduced is incredibly gratifying," she wrote.

Nurri Tiara Kirani felt the same way. The scholarship significantly eased her family's burden and helped her pay for school expenses.

Meanwhile, for Lailla, the scholarship ignited her enthusiasm and motivation to continue studying and improve her achievements.

Akbar Miftah Ash-Shiddieq felt the same way. "The Pancawaluya Scholarship is very helpful and doesn't burden my parents too much. Luckily, my mother is the only one who works at home. I hope this program continues to run smoothly because there are still many parents out there who can't afford to meet their children's school needs," he admitted.

Another student, Dendi Nurahman, also expressed his gratitude for the Governor's policy. "Thank you, Governor, for the scholarship assistance. May you always be healthy and may God continue to bless your fortune," he said.
