Human Resources Development via Higher Education Scholarships: A Case Study of a Ministry of Public Works and Housing Scholarship Program

This study aims to assess human resources development through a scholarship program in the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works and Housing (IMPWH). The study used document analysis methodology and personal interviews to identify the circumstances and objectives used by IMPWH in implementing the scholarship program. A program evaluation model, known as ‘Context, Input, Process, and Product’ (CIPP), was used alongside case study methodology to elaborate on and assess the scholarship program. Fifty participants, including employees, alumnus, lecturers and policymakers were involved in the study. The results showed that the scholarship program at MPWHI contributed significantly to enhancing the quality and competencies of human resources despite some shortcomings. Whilst the implementation of monitoring and evaluating the program was effective, the process of digital monitoring was insufficient and needs to be reconsidered for future iterations. This research has promoted a model for Human Resources Development (HRD) that will contribute to the improvement of scholarship programs used in government organizations.
