As a form of Widyatama University’s concern for education and parents, entering its 43rd year, we strive to keep tuition fees very affordable compared to other universities of the same class so that all levels of society can enjoy higher education/college. Additionally, we provide scholarships from both internal sources (Widyatama Foundation) and external sources (including Bank OCBC NISP, PT. Ultra Jaya, DIKTI, and many others).
