The Advanced Indonesia Scholarship (BIM) is a scholarship program from the National Achievement Center. Some netizens were "irritated", considering Stella to be promoting a certain campus abroad (LN). Others defended her, including the Secretary General of the Ministry of Education and Technology Togar Simatupang, and considered the provision reasonable.
