Student Testimonials

Our success speaks through our students. Here's what they have to say.

AECC provided me with all the necessary information about studying abroad, especially in the UK. The counsellor that was assigned to assist me was really helpful in helping me decide the perfect university. She assisted me with my university application, visa application, and travel booking. She also explained a lot regarding the entry requirements, the travel documents needed for international students, fun and useful information on UK cities, and the possible expenses when studying in the UK.

Efficient, helpful, and expert, these are the three words I could use to describe AECC. The reason being is due to how fast the agent is at replying to your messages and making sure that you are on track. Helpful, as most of the questions regarding your studies and accommodation could be answered by them, and expert, as not only does the agency provide options, it also provides the pros and cons, suggestions, and gives you a picture of what to expect.

I applied for 5 universities and received 5 admission offers. However, I decided to go to Cranfield University as their financing options were very favourable for an international student. It has long been my ambition to complete my studies at a British university, and AECC made all the processes smooth and easy for me. I would like to recommend AECC as they have really excellent staff who were so engaged and knowledgeable. Thank you very much, AECC, for making my dream come true.

AECC was so patient and waited for a year with me while looking for options and making sure that everything was going forward. Applying to universities and dealing with visa matters could be so tedious, but working together with AECC really made my life easier, especially during this challenging time for international students. Everyone who's interested in studying in the UK should inquire with AECC about Sheffield Hallam University, or any other universities of interest. Thank you, AECC.

Scholarship Guidance FAQs

Answers to the most common questions Indonesian students ask about funding their study abroad.

Indonesian students can access government-funded scholarships such as Australia's Australia Awards Scholarship, the UK's Chevening and GREAT Scholarships, and Canada's ASEAN SEED programme, alongside university merit scholarships and Indonesia's own LPDP funding for approved overseas institutions.

Fully-funded scholarships typically come from government programmes rather than universities alone. Australia Awards, Chevening, and Canada-ASEAN SEED are all fully or substantially funded and open to Indonesian applicants, though they're competitive and usually require a strong academic record, relevant work or research experience, and a clear study or career plan.

Yes, though these are less common than postgraduate awards. Canada's ASEAN SEED programme offers undergraduate exchange funding, and several universities in Australia, the UK, and Canada offer merit-based undergraduate scholarships covering 10% to 50% of tuition for high-achieving Indonesian applicants.

Yes. Chevening (UK), Australia Awards (Australia), and Canada-ASEAN SEED all offer Master's-level funding, and LPDP, funded by the Indonesian government, supports Indonesian citizens studying at approved universities across multiple destinations.

Availability varies more by programme than by country. The UK, Australia, and Canada each run government-funded scholarship programmes specifically for Indonesian and ASEAN applicants, while countries like Germany offer low or no tuition at public universities, which reduces the need for a scholarship in the first place.

Yes. Most Indonesian students studying abroad combine a scholarship or fee reduction with family funding or an education loan, rather than covering the full cost through a scholarship alone. Our counsellors can help you build a realistic funding plan based on your destination and course.
