Jakarta, December 18, 2017 – Avian Brands' commitment to organizing a scholarship program through one of its products, Avitex Wall Paint, was successfully carried out at the end of August 2017 with the program “Online Scholarship Competition (OSC) with Avitex 2017.” The Awarding Night event, held at Kuningan City Mall Ballroom, marked the second year for Avian Brands in realizing its commitment and social responsibility of Avitex Wall Paint towards the world of education.
OSC with Avitex is a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) collaborative program between Avitex Wall Paint and MetroTVNews.com as an innovation by Avian Brands in the field of education to create a great Indonesian generation that is visionary, communicative, capable of motivating, and leading Indonesia towards better change.
Novi Christiana, Deputy Marketing Director of Avian Brands, stated, “Education is very important to support the future, especially in this era where science and technology are increasingly sophisticated. If Indonesia has great human resources, it is not impossible for Indonesia to become better and be on par with developed countries,” she said.
With the implementation of OSC with Avitex 2017, according to Novi, it can meet the needs of outstanding high school/vocational school students to pursue their dreams of higher education, especially since there are still many talented students in various regions who struggle to achieve their dreams due to financial constraints. Furthermore, Indonesia is also required to be able to compete with the presence of foreign experts in this era of globalization.
“With the implementation of the OSC with Avitex scholarship program, all costs will be covered by the organizers, and the winners will receive free tuition for four years, with 20 scholarships provided at each university. They don't even need to worry about initial fees, because 100% of everything is free. This way, they can pursue their desired dreams without financial obstacles,” she explained.
Compared to 2016, the enthusiasm for OSC with Avitex 2017 participants significantly increased. If last year the number of participants was only 28,000 people, in 2017 the number of participants exceeded the set target, reaching 42,000 people, far surpassing the initial target of 35,000 people. The winners will be eligible for a Bachelor's degree (S-1) at 12 renowned universities in Indonesia, including Trisakti University, Multimedia Nusantara University, Mercubuana University, Al-Azhar Indonesia University, Telkom University, ITENAS, Maranatha Christian University, Duta Wacana Christian University, 17 Agustus University, Widya Mandala University, Islamic University of Malang, and Gajayana University. Many participants also came from various remote areas, such as Aceh, Lampung, NTT, and Kalimantan.
“We didn't expect that this year the number we targeted would be exceeded. This shows that the OSC with Avitex program is highly sought after by students in Indonesia, especially as there will be 240 Bachelor's degree (S-1) scholarships awarded to outstanding students at the Awarding Night Online Scholarship Competition (OSC) with Avitex 2017, with the hope that the great Indonesian generation will have high integrity and be able to make Indonesia proud in the eyes of the world,” Novi added.
It should be noted that OSC with Avitex participants have gone through 4 stages of OSC, namely registration (August 30 – November 3, 2017), online test (November 5, 2017), online test results announcement (November 28, 2017), and finally the offline test concurrently with the Awarding Night announcing the 240 winners of the OSC with Avitex 2017 scholarship held today. Meanwhile, the online scholarship competition format has proven to facilitate the widespread distribution of this program to remote parts of the country.
As a company that contributes to advancing the domestic paint industry, Avian Brands does not only focus on education. However, Avian Brands also pays attention to environmental sustainability, health, and social environmental responsibility, which are always part of its CSR programs.
Pride and Emotion of the “OSC with Avitex 2017” Winners
An extraordinary sense of pride and emotion was visible on the faces of several scholarship recipients, as there were 12 participants with the best scores in the OSC with Avitex 2017 competition. Additionally, they will also receive winner certificates along with 12 units of smartphones each.
“Initially, I saw an advertisement on social media about the OSC with Avitex 2017 scholarship program offering free tuition for 4 years. So I tried to participate, and thankfully I received this scholarship, even becoming the best participant. I am very grateful to Avitex and MetroTVNews.com for organizing this scholarship program. May Avitex continue to progress and carry out its social responsibility programs towards education in Indonesia,” said Charlos Leonardo, one of the participants from Singkawang who is entitled to a Bachelor's degree (S-1) scholarship to study at Mercubuana University.
Shella Dini Ayulia from Kalimantan, another best participant, revealed that she joined the OSC with Avitex 2017 program after learning about it from her teacher, “It's like a miracle that I could get this scholarship from Avitex with the best score. Back when I was in 3rd grade of high school, college was my dream, but because there were no funds, I almost gave up on the idea of studying. Finally, there's a scholarship program from Avitex that can make my dream come true,” said Shella, who successfully received a Bachelor's degree (S-1) scholarship at Al-Azhar University majoring in English Literature.
Another best participant, Gayatri Kusumastuti from Bogor, who received a Bachelor's degree (S-1) scholarship at ITENAS, admitted that the OSC with Avitex 2017 scholarship competition greatly helped her realize her parents' hopes, “This scholarship program is really great, and registration was very easy because it was online. I'm so happy that I can fulfill my mother's and father's dream of going to college. I hope Avitex's scholarship program continues in the future, so that the nation's future generations in various regions can still experience higher education as a path to achieve their dreams,” said Gayatri, who dreams of becoming an Interior Designer.
Here are the Winners of the OSC with Avitex 2017 Bachelor's Degree (S-1) Scholarship.
