Jakarta, 7 July 2019 --- PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI, University of Indonesia (UI), and the University of Indonesia Alumni Association (ILUNI) not only succeeded in holding a running sports competition within the largest campus environment in Indonesia, namely the BNI-UI Half Marathon 2019, but also succeeded in raising funds for students who were in dire need of financial assistance in order to continue their studies. Through this annual running competition, the organizers succeeded in implementing an UI endowment fund raising program that continues to be developed through the mechanism of placing BNI AM Makara Investment Mutual Fund products.
Therefore, from each step of the runners, an endowment is collected. This fund is expected to be able to assist UI in supporting education, including providing educational assistance facilities for new and old students who need financial assistance.
