Abstract

This paper examines the benefits of education perceived by students with low-family income levels by measuring the university missions as the tested variables, e.g. academic (research administration), research and development, link-and-match (employment), and social (scholarships and public services) missions. The study sites are 8 universities in Jakarta with population of students who receive scholarships and low-income student benefits. The results showed that the universities were mostly focusing on obtaining new students, educating students about research and improving students' careers including research and non-research benefits as mission accomplishment. Based on the academic mission, the research finding indicated that the students prioritized to obtaining the education gain and pursuing an urban career which confirmed by university staffs. Other findings are also surprising because the universities rarely focusing on fulfilling social (e.g. Scholarships) and link-and-match (job career and employment) missions to support low-income students. Even though the four missions of educational missions have been regulated, however, the eight universities considered the entire missions as voluntary policies to achieve education quality.
