The Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Indonesia (FMUI) has introduced the Beasiswa Paripurna untuk Bangsa (BPuB) program. This initiative is designed to enhance educational access for academically promising students hailing from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The primary goal of this scholarship program is to cultivate proficient healthcare professionals, specifically doctors characterized by competence, heightened social consciousness, and a commitment to advancing the reputation of the alma mater. The objective is to inspire these individuals to dedicate themselves to the equitable distribution of health services across Indonesia.
On an annual basis, FMUI sets a target of three (3) new students to benefit from tuition assistance through the BPuB program. Eligibility for participation in the scholarship selection process is extended to FMUI students who have not received any scholarships from other entities to pursue their education at FMUI.

Graduation/completion targets for students who fall into the bottom 20% of household income group (or a more tightly defined target) in the country. BPuB scholarship recipients are required to meet specific criteria throughout their academic tenure. This includes maintaining a minimum cumulative achievement index score of 2.75, actively participating in at least one extracurricular activity, responsibly recording the use of scholarship funds, and regularly communicating with Academic Supervisors. Additionally, students must uphold good conduct, adhering to campus rules and refraining from any involvement in criminal activities.

In addition to these initiatives, FMUI goes above and beyond by offering subsidized living quarters in the form of dormitories for clinical students with lower socioeconomic backgrounds situated in Kalipasir, Cikini.
