Education is a right for humans to be able to gain knowledge, make it easier to get a job, shape character, broaden understanding and enlightenment and increase the progress of the nation. This is what makes people flock to get a decent and best education. However, people also face problems, especially in financial terms, which require them to actively seek scholarships to reduce the burden of education costs. Providing scholarships is a form of appreciation for the recipient’s abilities. In this case, scholarship recipients also gain confidence to carry out a future mission for themselves, many people, and even the world, namely through college studies.
The opportunities given, especially to students who receive scholarships, certainly make students have a high moral burden to be able to demonstrate their achievements. This is the main aim of holding this motivational coaching activity.

Therefore, a student’s dream of being able to graduate on time is an achievement that must be achieved.” he said in his speech.
