According to the data from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, as many as 75,303 children in Indonesia have dropped out of school throughout 2021. Many dreams of domestic children have had to be revoked as a result of this. Therefore, the Hoshizora Foundation is committed to supporting more Indonesian children to get a quality education. Through the scholarship program, Hoshizora Foundation supports children from elementary school up to university level. A scholarship recipient from Hoshizora is called Adik Bintang, which goes along with Hoshizora’s meaning, Hoshi: stars, Zora: sky. We want the scholarship recipients to become stars and shine a light upon others.
