KATA PENGANTAR

Tiap-tiap warga Negara berhak mendapatkan pengajaran. Hak setiap warga Negara tersebut telah dicantumkan dalam Pasal 31 (1) Undang-Undang Dasar 1945. Berdasarkan pasal tersebut, maka Pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah wajib memberikan layanan dan kemudahan, serta menjamin terselenggaranya pendidikan yang bermutu bagi setiap warga negara tanpa diskriminasi, dan masyarakat berkewajiban memberikan dukungan sumber daya dalam penyelenggaraan pendidikan. Untuk menyelenggarakan pendidikan yang bermutu diperlukan biaya yang cukup besar. Oleh karena itu bagi setiap peserta didik pada setiap satuan pendidikan berhak mendapatkan biaya pendidikan bagi mereka yang orang tuanya kurang mampu membiayai pendidikannya, dan berhak mendapatkan beasiswa bagi mereka yang berprestasi.

Pemerintah melalui Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi Departemen Pendidikan Nasional pada tahun 2010 meluncurkan program Beasiswa Bidik Misi untuk memberikan beasiswa dan biaya pendidikan kepada 20.000 mahasiswa dan atau calon mahasiswa dari keluarga yang secara ekonomi kurang mampu dan berprestasi, baik di bidang akademik/kurikuler, ko-kurikuler maupun ekstrakurikuler.

Program ini sangat penting untuk memutus mata rantai kemiskinan dengan cara elegan, sehingga dimasukkan sebagai program kerja 100 hari dalam Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu II.

Agar program penyaluran beasiswa Bidik Misi dapat dilaksanakan sesuai dengan prinsip 3T, yaitu: Tepat Sasaran, Tepat Jumlah, dan Tepat Waktu, maka diharapkan para pimpinan perguruan tinggi dalam melakukan sosialisasi, seleksi, dan penyaluran Beasiswa Bidik Misi mengacu pada pedoman ini.

Penerbitan pedoman program beasiswa Bidik Misi ini diharapkan dapat memudahkan bagi perguruan tinggi penyelenggara agar penyaluran beasiswa kepada mahasiswa dapat tercapai sesuai dengan harapan kita semua. Selain itu pedoman ini diharapkan juga dapat memudahkan bagi para calon mahasiswa atau mahasiswa yang akan mengusulkan sebagai calon penerima beasiswa, dan memudahkan bagi mahasiswa yang telah ditetapkan sebagai penerima beasiswa untuk mendapatkan haknya.

Dengan terbitnya buku ini, proses penyaluran beasiswa kepada mahasiswa diharapkan akan berjalan dengan lebih baik, dan mahasiswa dapat menyelesaikan studinya dengan lancar, berprestasi tepat waktu yang akhirnya dapat ikut andil dalam meneruskan perjuangan bangsa menuju pembangunan Indonesia sejahtera.

Akhirnya kami mengucapkan penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada tim penyusun pedoman ini dan semua pihak yang telah membantu dalam mewujudkan buku pedoman Program Beasiswa Bidik Misi ini.

I. PENDAHULUAN

A. LATAR BELAKANG

Peningkatan pemerataan akses ke perguruan tinggi jenjang pendidikan menengah yang terdiri atas lulusan SMA/SMK/MA/MAK atau bentuk lain yang sederajat sampai saat ini masih merupakan masalah di negara kita. Banyak lulusan jenjang pendidikan menengah yang berprestasi dan merupakan calon mahasiswa yang potensial tidak dapat melanjutkan ke jenjang pendidikan tinggi karena berasal dari keluarga kurang mampu. Selain itu peningkatan akses informasi terhadap sumber pendanaan masih sangat terbatas. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan antara lain dengan menyusun database siswa jenjang pendidikan menengah yang cerdas dan kurang mampu serta memfasilitasi dan atau menyediakan beasiswa dan biaya pendidikan.

Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional, Bab V pasal 12 (1.c), menyebutkan bahwa setiap peserta didik pada setiap satuan pendidikan berhak mendapatkan beasiswa bagi yang berprestasi yang orang tuanya kurang mampu membiayai pendidikannya. Pasal 12 (1.d), menyebutkan bahwa setiap peserta didik pada setiap satuan pendidikan berhak mendapatkan biaya pendidikan bagi mereka yang orang tuanya kurang mampu membiayai pendidikannya.

Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia Nomor 48 tahun 2008 tentang Pendanaan Pendidikan, Bagian Kelima, Pasal 27 ayat (1), menyebutkan bahwa Pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah sesuai kewenangannya memberi bantuan biaya pendidikan atau beasiswa kepada peserta didik yang orang tua atau walinya kurang mampu membiayai pendidikannya. Pasal 27 ayat (2), menyebutkan bahwa Pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah sesuai dengan kewenangannya dapat memberi beasiswa kepada peserta didik yang berprestasi.

Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 9 Tahun 2009 tentang Badan Hukum Pendidikan, Bab VI, Pasal 46 ayat (2), menyebutkan bahwa Badan Hukum Pendidikan wajib mengalokasikan beasiswa atau bantuan biaya pendidikan bagi peserta didik Warga Negara Indonesia yang kurang mampu secara ekonomi dan atau peserta didik yang memiliki potensi akademik tinggi paling sedikit 20% (dua puluh persen) dari jumlah seluruh peserta didik.

Berbagai macam beasiswa oleh pemerintah, misalnya PPA, BBM, PPE, dan BMU, telah diberikan kepada mahasiswa. Akan tetapi jumlah dana yang diberikan masih belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan biaya pendidikan dan biaya hidup mahasiswa, sehingga belum menjamin keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa hingga selesai.

Mengacu pada Undang-Undang dan Peraturan Pemerintah tersebut serta kenyataan tentang program beasiswa sebagaimana tersebut di atas, maka Pemerintah melalui Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi – Departemen Pendidikan Nasional mulai tahun 2010 memberikan beasiswa dan biaya pendidikan bagi calon mahasiswa dari keluarga yang kurang mampu secara ekonomi dan berprestasi yang disebut Beasiswa BIDIK MISI.
