Abstract

The current state of the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is an obstacle on the families of scholarship students, which affects their living conditions. This research was urgent to find a way to overcome the problem. The objective was to find an approach after analyzing the socioeconomic conditions of university's scholarship students. From previous research, some students had socioeconomic problems with the working conditions of the father being a laborer, while the mother is not working, the average total income of parents was Rp. 2.000.000 or US. $ 140/month, while respondents with an allowance of less than IDR 1.000.000 or US. $ 70 / month. The survey was conducted on campus right before The Large-Scale Social Restrictions was implemented in Jakarta. Data was collected by interviewing 114 respondents, analyzed with descriptive quantitative and qualitative. The quota load fee needed for online learning is a problem for them. The results obtained that some students suggested adjusting to the existing conditions and facilities, some others wanted their scholarship allowance to increase. In contrast, others needed the main quota subsidy in the form of the general phone quota. All these can be used as a policy strategy for handling the problem of affected scholarship students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
