  1. saya sebetulnya bingung sama komen-komen orang Indonesia yang mengaku ingin mendapat beasiswa, tapi tidak ada usahanya untuk (paling tidak) klik link dan baca satu persatu informasi yang tertera, padahal sudah jelas tercantum di situ langkah-langkahnya. apalagi ada yang sampai meminta dikirimkan informasi ke alamat email pribadinya, tidak pernah dengar ttg milis beasiswa kah? kalau saya jadi panitia beasiswa, orang-orang macam ini yang akan saya coret pertama kali dari daftar penerima. IMHO.
