beasiswa penuh
Also called: full scholarship, beasiswa penuh biaya
A scholarship that covers all tuition costs and sometimes living costs.
What it means
A full scholarship is a scholarship that covers all or nearly all education costs, and often living costs as well. Its coverage is usually explained in the program terms, including costs not covered. This term is different from a partial scholarship that only covers part of the costs.
Why it matters for families
Understanding full scholarship coverage is important so families don't budget too little. Even when called full, there are costs such as transportation or personal needs that remain self-funded. Misunderstanding can leave the child short of money when living away from home.
Example
For example, a scholarship covers tuition and dormitory, but not round-trip tickets. The family still sets aside transportation funds every year.
Common misunderstanding
The term full scholarship is often assumed to cover all expenses without exception. It is better to read the coverage details and recipient obligations.
