UPH Low-Income Student Support
Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) offers a wide range of support services to ensure that students from low-income backgrounds can continue and complete their studies successfully. Beyond financial aid, UPH provides structured mentoring programmes, especially for low-income students, pairing them with trained senior mentors who offer guidance on academic, personal, and spiritual matters. Each student has one academic supervisor who helps them develop an optimal study plan, monitors and evaluates study results and learning outcomes. Through this programme, each student’s study results are monitored so that students can successfully complete their studies. All academic supervisors are appointed by the Dean with a decree from the Dean of each faculty at UPH. Academic supervisors are responsible for students from the time the student commits UPH until the student graduates from UPH.
Counselling and psychological support are also available through the HOPE Counseling and Assessment Center and the Cornerstone Psychological Center, where students can access professional services for stress management, family challenges, and career development. This support not only helps students address personal and emotional difficulties but also strengthens their resilience and overall well-being, making them more likely to stay engaged in their studies and successfully complete their education.
In addition, UPH provides an enriching campus life through a wide variety of student organisations and extracurricular clubs (UKM) that are open to all students, especially those from low-income backgrounds. These communities, ranging from arts, sports, and cultural activities to academic and professional development groups, offer students opportunities to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and find a sense of belonging. By actively engaging in these organisations, low-income students are able to enrich their university experience, maintain a balanced and meaningful daily life on campus, and stay motivated to pursue and complete their studies.
