Curated Matches
MEXT Research Scholarship
Strong MatchYour 3.69 GPA clears the minimum threshold (2.30/3.00) by a wide margin. An Information Systems background maps well onto Japan's informatics and engineering research priorities. Age 24 is well within the under-35 limit. Japanese language proficiency is not required, though JLPT N2/N3 would strengthen your application. Strong fit for embassy-track applications from Indonesia.
Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship
Strong MatchIndonesia is an eligible country for this program. Your 3.69 GPA meets the B+ equivalent threshold with room to spare. The Information Systems background aligns with development priorities in digital infrastructure and ICT. Work experience is preferred but not strictly required for strong academic profiles. Directly relevant to your stated goal of migrating to New Zealand for postgraduate study.
LPDP Scholarship
Strong MatchThis is your strongest option. As an Indonesian citizen with a 3.69 GPA, you are precisely the high-achieving fresh graduate LPDP targets. The Information Systems degree qualifies for Master's programs in computer science, information technology, and data science at top universities in New Zealand (University of Auckland, University of Otago), Canada (UBC, University of Toronto, UWaterloo), and Japan (University of Tokyo, Kyoto University). LPDP explicitly funds the countries and program levels you are targeting. Age 24 is well under the maximum. The application process is competitive but your academic profile places you in a strong position.
CGS-M & Canadian University Awards
Good MatchYour 3.69 GPA is competitive for CGS-M (typically requires A- equivalent) and for university-specific awards at schools like UBC, University of Toronto, McGill, and University of Waterloo. Information Systems graduates are strong candidates for Master's programs in Computer Science, Information Systems, and Data Science. As an international applicant you will also need to meet English proficiency requirements (IELTS 6.5+ or TOEFL iBT 90+). Funding packages often combine CGS-M with departmental TA/RA support and entrance scholarships, potentially covering most costs.
INPEX Scholarship
Strong MatchAs an Indonesian citizen, you meet the core requirement. Your 3.69 GPA exceeds the 3.00 minimum by a clear margin. Age 24 is well under the 30 age limit. Your Information Systems background is relevant to energy sector research and natural resource informatics that INPEX supports. You will need to secure acceptance from a Japanese university before the October 31 deadline, so begin contacting potential supervisors early.
MTCP Scholarship
Good MatchAs an Indonesian citizen, you are eligible to apply. Your 3.69 GPA exceeds the 3.0 CGPA minimum. Age 24 is within the 45 age limit. Information Systems is a suitable field for Malaysian university programs. Note: the 2026 intake closed on June 12, 2026. Watch for the next application cycle opening around May 2027 and prepare your documents in advance.
