TheNorth Kayong Regency Government (Pemkab) continues to strive to improve the quality of Human Resources (HR), especially in the field of health service delivery. One of the strategic steps taken is to provide scholarship assistance to the sons and daughters of the region to pursue higher education at partner universities. Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta is one of the universities trusted to partner in this scholarship program.

This cooperation was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Cooperation Agreement (MoA) between the North Kayong Regency Government and UNISA Yogyakarta. The signing ceremony took place at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) on Friday, January 24, 2025, which also marked a similar collaboration with UMY.

The event was attended by the Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, Vice Rector IV, M. Ali Imron, M.Fis, and the dean of UNISA Yogyakarta. The presence of representatives from both partner universities shows the seriousness and joint commitment in supporting human resource development programs in North Kayong.

The partnership between UNISA Yogyakarta and the North Kayong Regency Government is not new. Previously, the two parties had collaborated in the opening of the Faculty of Medicine (FK) UNISA Yogyakarta and the Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka (MBKM) program. This collaboration further strengthens the joint commitment, especially in the field of scholarships for health education.

The Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, welcomed this initiative and emphasized the importance of this collaboration as a momentum to educate the nation’s children, especially the sons and daughters of the North Kayong region.

“We are very proud of the opportunity and trust given. We will make this a momentum for UNISA Yogyakarta to contribute in educating the nation’s children, especially the children of North Kayong Regency,” she said in her speech.

This scholarship program is expected to have a significant positive impact on both parties.
